Several strategic developments such as Six56, Stobarts and Hospital development are outside of the plan as they break the purposes of the Green Belt and would not stand up to scrutiny from planning inspector. Local Plan and Transport Plan are based on highly selective information - very little information has been provided to support claims made in plan, information is vague/out of date. Proposing plan for next 20 years in light of current uncertainty due to Brexit and Covid is unsound - minimum plan period should be reduced. Impact of rapid growth over past 40 years not yet assessed. Plan makes no attempt to minimise use of Green Belt - brownfield development should be prioritised. Plan offers no solutions to overstretched infrastructure. Plan should be rewritten to reflect views of local people.
