Local plan scoping consultation
Identifying and assessing sites
Respondent: Diane Cotterrell
Representation Summary:
The respondent objects to proposals for housing development on Green Belt land in Ashley, arguing that such development would permanently harm the character of the rural parish and surrounding communities. They believe Green Belt farmland should be protected, particularly where brownfield sites, empty buildings and previously developed land may be available for redevelopment. Concerns are raised about the loss of agricultural land, wildlife habitats, biodiversity and floodplain functions. The respondent also highlights pressures on existing infrastructure, including roads, schools, doctors and hospitals, arguing that further development would worsen these issues. They request that Green Belt land remain protected and unsuitable for development.

Dear planning team,
I’m writing to object the proposal of building houses on greenbelt land in Ashley.
Ashley is a small rural parish that would be utterly changed forever with the scope of plans outlined for greenbelt farmland.
None of our precious greenbelt should be built upon when there are brownfield sites and empty buildings that already have road infrastructure around them that could be converted. Once the farmland is gone, it’s gone forever. The ability to grow food will be gone, graze animals, house the vast local wildlife so important to our ecology will be ruined forever.
Flood plains will be swallowed up causing other issues.
This is before we even get into the drastically lacking infrastructure, roads, schools, doctors, hospitals. It’s going put untold pressure on the already overstretched and vastly underfunded services we already suffer.
It will change the dynamics of many neighbouring villages and small towns and not in a good way. There should be no building on our greenbelt, it was put into greenbelt restrictions for good reasons. There are other places to convert that already have empty run down structures that could be converted. This is just a more expensive option I suppose than the money grasping alternative of decimating fields, wildlife and farming. It’s not going to make the area a more beautiful place. It will be horrendous.
