PROTECT TUNSTALL COMMUNITY

Amazing how the KCC hasnt read the National Planning Policy framework and worse than that is ignoring the fact that the building will be on Grade 2 agricultural land! children will have new school but will be starving in years to come. Extract from NPPF - Core Planning Principles - 1.take account of the different roles and character of different areas,promoting the vitality of our main urban areas, protecting the Green Belts around them, recognising the intrinsic character and beauty of thecountryside and supporting thriving rural communities within it;
2.contribute to conserving and enhancing the natural environment and
reducing pollution. Allocations of land for development should prefer land
of lesser environmental value, where consistent with other policies in this
Framework;
3. encourage the effective use of land by reusing land that has been previously developed (brownfield land), provided that it is not of high environmental value;
4. promote mixed use developments, and encourage multiple benefits from the use of land in urban and rural areas, recognising that some open land can perform many functions (such as for wildlife, recreation, flood risk
mitigation, carbon storage, or food production)
