Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options
Representation ID: 58138

Respondent: Mr Matthew Asplin
Policy GP/GB is supported in principle in seeking to protect the Green Belt but this isnt reflected throughout the GCLP.
The Government attaches great importance to Green Belts, (NPPF 2021), the essential characteristics of which are their openness and permanence and states that local planning authorities should ensure that substantial weight is given to any harm to the Green Belt.
It is therefore unclear why Policy S/NEC: makes no reference to the corresponding loss of Green Belt land, required to relocate what is a fully operational WWTW in the draft Local Plan to provide a balanced view on land use.
