Representation ID: 57562

Respondent: Stapleford Parish Council

Representation Summary:

We are in the rural southern cluster and, whilst we believe in progress and the general development strategy, we are very disturbed about our loss of village identity, the destroying of the unique quality of landscape character, of diminishing of the narrow green belt strip separating us from the City and the change of our village design. The proposed site is a meadow which has been undisturbed We do not believe that the proposals constitute ‘exception sites’ and would expect the smaller proposed developments to be built on brown fill sites and not prime agricultural land in the green belt.
