In regard to DUH217, I am unhappy that green belt land (or proposed former green belt land) has been earmarked for development, when other brownfield sites nearby are not being utilised. This are forms part of a number of local, countryside walks, which have become crucial to wellbeing in recent times. It is a route I have used a number of times during the COVID lockdowns. The more of these spaces we lose, the fewer countryside walks we have, at the detriment to the mental health of the local community.
