Policy WAT18
EDBF object to the designation of the Glebe Rd allotments as protected open space. Land is within Green Belt and therefore protected from inappropriate development by Local Plan Policy S/4. Land is outside of the development framework and therefore only countryside uses appropriate.
Policy SC/8 in Local Plan protects allotments. WAT18 is duplicating and being more restrictive.
Request that Policy WAT18 is deleted and that all references that identify Glebe Road Allotments as important open space including Map 6.12 are also deleted.
