Representation Summary:

I object to the application for Local Green Space designation being refused to The Three Fields, Norton, DY8 3LS, Site ID 10511, as it meets all of Part A criteria (NPPF) and two of the Part B criteria for beauty and recreation. It is also a popular but tranquil and peaceful area, thereby fulfilling the criteria for designation. It therefore qualifies for the extra level of protection that entails because of its special importance to the surrounding community. Its greenbelt status does not reflect that particular significance and local importance, which if lost is not possible to recreate;
