Dear Gerald Rigler

Thank you for your email dated 24 February 2021.

As the request is for that of opinion/advice, we feel that this would be better suited as a direct request to the Spatial Planning Team and not that of FOI/EIR. Questions of this nature can be sent to : [email address]

Alternatively, and with your permission, I will be happy to send the details to the relevant officer and ask that they respond direct.

Yours sincerely,

Rebecca Lester

Subject: [FOI@DC] Freedom of Information request - Need to relax protection of urban land from redevelopment

Dear Dorset Council,

To aid meaningful Local Plan consultations and since "shortage of land for housing alone is not considered (by central government) to be a reason for altering the Green Belt", why is Dorset Council associating itself with a need to erode the its primary natural / economic assets by supporting any relaxation of the recycling pressures on urban land, currently protected by a Green Belt ?

Yours faithfully,

Gerald Rigler
