It was felt that the reasons for maintaining the green belt in areas such as in Milverton have not changed. The case for altering the plans the council drew up in 2010 has not been made and the figures and methods for deriving housing need would not stand up to scrutiny. The exceptional circumstances needed for developing on the green belt have not been made.
We wish to register our objections to the proposed local plan.
Green belt is sacrosanct. It was set up years ago and the reasons for its creation have not altered in the intervening years. Despite listening carefully to Mr Hunt's presentation in Milverton last evening, we still do not know what exceptional reasons exist to justify encroachment.
We are also unpersuaded that the model used to calculate the housing requirement over the next fifteen years stands up to close scrutiny in some of its assumptions.
Finally - and despite persistent questioning - Mr Hunt failed to clarify the reasons why the housing requirement and certain designated areas, originally identified for development, have changed since the 2010 plan, into which (one assumes) an equal amount of careful consideration was invested
