Identifying and assessing sites
Representation Summary:
The respondent supports a brownfield-first approach to development and believes all suitable brownfield sites should be considered before any Grey Belt or greenfield land is released. They express concern about the ambiguity of the Grey Belt definition and emphasise the importance of protecting Green Belt land for wildlife, agriculture and food security. The response highlights the need to preserve the character and identity of towns and villages and to ensure infrastructure, including GP services, can accommodate growth. The respondent specifically raises concerns about recent development in Poynton, arguing that further large-scale housing growth would increase pressure on services and erode local character.

When compiling the local plan I think it is vital that a brownfield site first approach is taken.
All brownfield sites in the borough should be considered before any grey or greenfield sites are put forward for developed. I think there should be a very clear definition of grey field sites as currently the definition is extremely ambiguous and arguably a back-handed grab at greenbelt.
The greenbelt must be protected as a priority in the decision making, as once this land is lost its lost for good.
As a country we should be protecting our greenbelt, not only to protect wildlife, but protecting our farmland to ensure ,that as a country, we are self sufficient in vital food production.
We must ensure that development does not change the character of our towns & villages and with any development, consideration of the impact on services must be made (i.e. GP surgeries).
We must ensure that our towns & villages remain as individual towns & villages and that large developments don’t result in our individual towns & villages sprawling into one large conurbation.
I reside in Poynton, which due to recent large scale housing development is already losing its character and pressure on services (for example GP surgeries) are already being felt.
I feel that further large scale housing develops must be avoided in Poynton to avoid further erosion of its character and further increased pressure on already stretched services.
