With regard to the following question about Other themes, we have nothing more to offer on this. The primary themes have been captured in this section but please comment if you can see something we have missed.
With regards to the the question requiring a pin to be dropped on a map, we suggest putting the pin in any field and stating in the box below that the pin relates to all Green Belt land and not a specific location, and such land should be avoided for development.
The first question requires a number of spatial options to be put into an order of importance. We suggest;
- Densification of existing urban areas
- Infill development
- Strategic transport corridors
- Urban extensions
- Expansion of existing villages
- New settlements
