Respondent: Charlotte Parrish

The respondent strongly objects to further housing development on Green Belt land and argues that brownfield sites and existing buildings should be prioritised for development and renovation. They emphasise the importance of protecting farmland, wildlife, natural spaces and open countryside. Concerns are also raised about the capacity of existing roads, hospitals and other local services to accommodate substantial additional housing and population growth. The respondent urges the Council to listen to local residents and reconsider the proposals, highlighting that the loss of Green Belt and countryside would be permanent and irreversible.
