Greenbelt should not be used for development unless there are “exceptional circumstances". There are no exceptional circumstance here – rather the opposite – the area east of Fence Avenue is beautiful farmland near the centre of the town and should be preserved as such.

No "exceptional circumstances" have been demonstrated which justify the development of the green belt behind Fence Avenue, taking away one of the most spectacular views enjoyed by all residents of Macclesfield who walk or cycle along the canal.

I object to any safeguarding for development of green belt land. There are still plenty of brownfield sites available within Macclesfield. The land east of Fence Avenue is of special county value. The voices of local people should be heard rather than those of developers or wealthy organisations.

The exceptional circumstances to develop the land in addition to the existing school buildings has not been demonstrated. Continuing with this development would be in complete disregard with current green belt planning guidlines

The green belt was adopted to prevent our green and beautiful land becoming covered in concrete and tarmacand so depriving the population of easy access to peaceful and idyllic countryside. We have this wonderful treasure which should not be thrown away for a few people to make money. People need houses but there are many brownfield sites within the borough which can be transformed into much needed affordable homes. I understand that to develop such sites is more expensive, but it transforms the appearance of the town without destroying part of its most valuable asset. Surely developers and councillors would like to be remembered as people who had both the foresight and the will to develop the town for the present and future population.t re sight

Use up the many brown field sites first, don't leave derelict buildings blotting the landscape

This land fulfils all the purposes of the Green Belt and with all its other protective designations should not, planning terms, be even considered for development.

Use 'brown land' before building on our 'greenbelt'.

Why is the council again pouring its scarce resources into promoting development of land which has so recently been rejected for change of status (2012). This much cherished swathe of green belt provides a much needed open space for residents of the town and is part of what contributes to attracting visitors to the town. Development of this area is a short sighted strategy.

There is no justifiable reason to build on this green belt land, therefore is must be safeguarded for future generations to enjoy, not developers to destroy forever for quick money now.

This whole proposal flies in the face of planning regulations and public opinion. The requisite number of houses can be accommodated on brownfield sites in Macclesfield
