Respondent: Living Space Housing Ltd

Representation Summary:

It is important that the new Green Belt boundary is drawn in a way that honours the 5 Green Belt purposes, as defined by the NPPF.

Living Space support the inclusion of point a. As the promoter for proposed allocation WOH264, a current Green Belt site, Living Space will engage with the Council in discussions regarding the compensatory improvements to seek clarification on this. At this time, it is not clear what this entails.

Whilst Living Space recognise the intension behind compensatory improvements, the Councils should ensure that the viability of this is tested and that it does not compromise the deliverability of the proposed allocations.
