Respondent: Mrs Jackie Armstrong
In the draft MLP Interim Sustainability Report (July 2018), the scoring scheme gives positive additions to sites of large resources and economic benefit. There are no negative score additions for loss of a larger area of best and most valuable agricultural land, for long duration of nuisance or for high numbers of residents within 250m or 500m. A new negative score addition has been introduced for greenbelts, which unfairly promotes sites in the Newark area to the disadvantage of the area and its residents.
