Consider that need to be more homes should be identified as a key issue. Land North of Nailsea should be identified for consideration.

I support North Somerset Council's policy towards the preservation of the Green Belt in Nailsea consider it to be one of the most important aspects of the Local Plan 2036.

We are fully supportive of North Somerset Council's objection to a review of green belt land north of Nailsea

Local plan can address identified issues, particularly those listed in table

The key issues and strategies for addressing these issues are supported. Minor additions to wording suggested.

The Council’s primary concern at Nailsea and Backwell appears to relate to the way in which the SDL will take shape. We are broadly supportive of an SDL being identified and consider it appropriate location given the scale and role of Nailsea. We would suggest that the requirement to deliver a strategic level of growth, the existing commitments set out in the development plan and the constrained nature of both settlements, means that there is limited sted scope for additional sites.

Objection to proposals around Backwell and Nailsea

-

New local plan needs to provide site allocations, but its anticipated that the detail of masterplanning can be undertaken through an SPD and Gleeson are keen to input into this process.

We note that consideration will be given to local Green Belt amendments in the NLP. The existing Green Belt designation comes up to the South side of Chelvey Lane and the access to the Backwell SDL from the A370 goes through the Green Belt and could be considered for a local Green Belt amendment to form a more permanent boundary
