Strategic vision cannot be achieved without revisiting the use of land to the North of the District in the Green Belt.

Strategic thinking requires 'thinking outside the box' rather than continuing to squeeze new growth targets into the already over populated areas to the south of the District.

New infrastructure needed to support the current levels of traffic and congestion let alone the high number of new homes and businesses.

The plan also ignores the high number of homes already available for sale in the area ?

At the consultation the council said build the homes and the jobs will follow. This is an example of yesterday's thinking as can be seen by the large number of commercial sites that lie empty in the areas targeted to build more.

There is already a local workforce available in the area and neighboring districts but this is not attracting business. The council should reconsider their overall strategy and look at the district as a blank piece of paper and plan from this basis.
