Representation Summary:

We object to the removal of the "Green Rim" in MM36 as it will weaken this policy and will weaken protection of the countryside from inappropriate development. Removal of this text compromises and weakens MM16 [policy CS16] as it may add to existing long term open space deficits and reduce effectiveness of local biodiversity and ecological networks outlined in MM21 [policy DM3]. Green rim should be considered an impediment to development. SOCS feel text is contradictory and does not support the new text - the green rim relating to ecological corridors at the end of this section of new text.
