Cottenham Neighbourhood Plan - submission consultation
Representation ID: 167660
Received: 25/03/2019
Respondent: Gladman Developments
Representation Summary:
Policy COH/2-1 Development Framework
Object to use of 'countryside policies' which seek to protect countryside for sake of its intrinsic character. Based on old PPS7 approach - restrictive stance to rural development. NPPF clear presumption in favour of sustainable development. Use of frameworks creates presumption against development in all areas beyond an arbitrary line - confines physical growth of settlement. Contrary to basic conditions.
Wording of policy should be modified to allow for flexibility. Suggest having criteria based policy in Plan.
