I am a resident on Glebe farm and have lived here over 14 years, in that time I have applied to extend my property into a very modest family home (3 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs) and to allow a downstairs disabled room for my father [redacted due to personal information] -all of these have been rejected. None of these applications were for financial gain as despite them we have still chose to remain in this property for over 14 years now due to its location and how much we appreciate the land around us. The only amendments we have been able to make in our time here it to reuse the existing dwelling and change its use.

The main reasons cited for our refusal has always gone back to it being close to green belt land and I have been for pre planning advice since having family to see if we can make our living situation better (still only a 3 bedroom house with an upstairs bathroom) but it has always been a firm no due to the desire to protect the openness. Therefore, I am extremely concerned and shocked to read that the land proposed for development as part of the call for land is all Green Belt and in fact very close to home and on green belt land.

In addition to this and even more surprising to me, Site 97 Glebe Farm is identified for Housing/Residential on the interactive map. If this land is to be developed it not only seems completely unfair given the challenges we have had with our proposals I feel developing it to this level of complete excess would also have a horrendous impact for the local area, environment, farming, and community.

I would like to gain a better understanding of how Green Belt land will be treated in the future as it suddenly doesn’t seem as protected as it was during my applications and what the recommendations are for Glebe Farm
