For those of you who are paying close attention to CW&C plans on the release of Green Belt land to allow for Development,enabling them to provide availability of sufficient land to meet their target for new properties between now and 2021,Or,alternatively if you were present at the WPRA AGM you will be aware that the Local Authority were due to release details of the Local Plan on 29thApril with a Consultation period scheduled for late May to early July.

These dates will no longer be adhered to. Apparently there has been,a very recent publication of new,significant demographic information by Communities and Local Government,which needs careful consideration . This information would mean that requirements are perhaps nearly 40% less than was originally thought.

If these new calculations are proved to be accurate then any release of Green Belt Land , it is thought,should be even more questionable.

The planned,Consultation period,I understand,will not now happen until August/September at the earliest.

Regards, David Pilling, Chairman, Westminster Park Residents Association.
