From Saughall Greenbelt: Are We Being Mugged by CWAC (Again)????? Green Belt Information Loop ........... protecting Cheshires rural heritage and charm Urgent Action needed now The Local Plan Very soon, the draft Local Plan will go to an Inspector who has to decide, in the light of its contents and of submissions made by the public, whether the plan meets the requirements laid down under the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). We do not believe that it does and would encourage anyone who agrees it fails, to let their views be known. Should you agree, please make a submission. The on-line forms are somewhat intimidating, but you can make an email submission along the following lines - Please edit/customise as you wish, but do send an email from every person in your household, and please urge your neighbours/friends/family to do the same: Make sure you Identify yourself with your address and post code Check out what our MP thinks of it chestermp/stephen-mosley-mp-responds-to-local-plan-consultation The more people thatobject, the least likely it is that they can continue to ignore us NUMBERS COUNT We have until next Friday, 1 NOVEMBER to put in a representation objecting to the Local Plan You can respond now via email to [email protected] Write your Name and address incl. post code Dear Mr. Owens, I object to the re-designation of any Green Belt land as part of the CWaC local plan. state ......The draft local development plan is unsound because: 1) There is no justification for re-designating Green Belt land for housing. The assessment of the number of new homes required is deeply flawed and is dwelling-led rather than based on evidenced needs. The result is a housing target of more than twice that determined by the Dept of Communities and Local Governments projected increase in households.. It is not based on proportionate evidence. 2) There is no justification for the ambitious growth targets which do not enjoy public support. The results of what little consultation there has been with the public have been ignored. They are well above any historical or natural levels and are not deliverable. 3) There is no justification because the plans are disproportionate to the need. The Strategic Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) shows that there is no shortage of land availability over the 20 year period. The Green Belt should not be dismembered for a ‘perceived’ shortage over the very short term. 4) It is not positively prepared as there is no evidence of co-operation (as required in the planning guidance) with neighbouring authorities. 5) It is not effective as there is no evidence of joint working on cross boundary strategic priorities. 6) It is not consistent with the NPPF and national planning guidelines in its lack of use of secondary nationally produced data. 7) It is not positively prepared in that it fails to address the issues of waste treatment capacity, traffic congestion, water supply etc with neighbouring authorities. The plan is not effective as it has not been demonstrated that the plan can be delivered. It is simply not a credible plan given recorded past delivery levels and the latest demographic changes recorded by the ONS indicate. The case for re-designating any Green-Belt has not been made. We cannot understand why this Authority is encouraging the development of Green-Belt land and countryside, against the wishes of the community rather than primarily utilising all available Brownfield land as demanded by the National Planning Framework ...who are they representing ?
