I strongly support maintaining the greenbelt. Development of it is only ever appropriate for uses other than housing, e.g. re-wilding or supplying access to green spaces. Developers have a vested interest in representing their proposals as ‘sustainable’, however any housing or building development on greenbelt land is necessarily at odds with the aims of this policy and I do not support it.
The ‘harm rating’ determined in the greenbelt assessments must be recorded within HELAA report assessment as a red-amber-green flag. Else, impact on the green belt is ignored in comparison to the other areas which do attract flag ratings.
