Representation Summary:

Objection to SP5:
Should be amended to:
Land has only been removed from the Green Belt to enable strategic development in sustainable locations within 1km of a rail station.

Full text:

The ConnectedCities methodology does not permit the development of Green-belt land unless it falls within the pedshed of a rail station in order that it be served with sustainable transport. It is therefore against the release of land on the edges of existing settlements unless the above criteria are satisfied. See http://www.connectedcities.co.uk/the-connectedtowns
