Support HT2:
-Green Belt releases: concern over loss but accept that if well planned and developed in accordance with the policies set out elsewhere in the Local Plan could be integrated into the town and provide the long-term boundary between the urban area and the Green Belt.
-support mitigation measures indicated - protect the rural nature of this location, including tree planting along the boundary with London Road
-sewage system overloaded, nearby pumping station unlikely to cope
-surface water: pleased to see reference to SUDS although pumping machinery may not be sufficient
