Following our village meeting on 29th July, this post contains the detail of our submission to the Stawberry Fields planning appeal.
Summary
This document is the summary of the key points that Carlton Community raise with regards to the proposed Strawberry Fields Application from Miller Homes.
The key points objections are:
- The Community does not require the level of housing proposed, which is shown in our consultants document on housing need in the area. See Appendix 1.
- The size of the development will almost double the village site in a 10-year period based on developments in the last 10 years. The scale is unsustainable on current infrastructure.
- The development is not sustainable due to the scale of the development and this has not been considered by the Developer in their submission. Key points on this are shown in our comments in Appendix 4.
- The site has never properly been considered for housing and the presumption the site should be considered for housing is premature. This is shown in the Refusal of Outline Planning Permission notice from Leeds City Council.
- The Developer has failed to consult with the community properly and has not engaged with the Neighbourhood Forum. None of the key data and advice the forum has gathered have been considered. These are defined in Appendix 2, 3 and 5.
- The Developer is trying to use a gap within the land allocation process to bring this site forward. This does not align with local and national planning policy.
