Representation Summary:

1. Although there is a need for new housing to meet demand the 2 sites in this plan are currently in land previously designated Green Belt. Government policy said that Green Belt would be protected from development.

2. There is no indication in the plans of the infrastructure that will need to be developed alongside new housing e.g. schools, medical facilities, shops that will be within walking distance.

3. The main access roads are already straining with traffic at certain times of the day causing delays which will be exacerbated by such large developments.
