Please add your response below, quoting the main modification reference number: (limit 3000 words)
It appears that the REAL opinions of the residents of Brigsteer are NOT being consider by the Land Allocation DPD. The original proposal was put forward by an unelected Community Land Trust who took it upon themselves to evaluate the need and position (RN213) for affordable homes within Brigsteer. This CLT also had many members within Helsington Parish Council and therefore bulldozed their way through with the proposal on the assumption that THEIR wishes were the wishes of the residents of Brigsteer. The fact that the members of the CLT involved with Helsington Parish Council were unelected at the soonest possibility from the Parish Council speaks volumes for the wishes of the Brigsteer community. The statement that this allocation has "community involvement and support" for this proposal is in fact far from the truth and is totally unsound,infact the proposal is very strongly opposed to by many Brigsteer residents.
