    NETTLEHAM PARISH COUNCIL The Parish Office Scothern Road Nettleham Lincoln LN2 2TU Tel: 01522 750011 Email: [email protected] Website: www.nettleham-pc.gov.uk Re: The Green Wedge Policy – LP 22 Submission of Hearing Statement on behalf of Nettleham Parish Council Re: Day 16: Matter 15 Green Wedges Q3 Re: LP22 – We would respectfully submit that the Plan is not currently sound in regard to this policy. The Green Wedge to the NE of Lincoln shown in the Policies Map has a gap between Nettleham and the south side of Cherry Willingham. This therefore fails to achieve some of the principal objectives of Policy LP 22, namely - 1. To protect the character and identity of the villages involved, in this case Nettleham, North Greetwell & Cherry Willingham and to that aim to protect them from a potential Lincoln urban area sprawl into this area of open countryside. Throughout the 4 year period (2012 – 2015) of the promotion of the Nettleham Neighbourhood Plan (NNP) by the Parish Council, this requirement (i.e. of preventing the Village from becoming an “annex” of Lincoln) was regarded as a cornerstone of the NNP and was widely supported within the Community (but please see further below). 2. The current Green Wedge designation in this area does not provide a wildlife corridor but is in effect a cul-de-sac, since the Green Wedge stops at Greetwell Lane and then resumes to the east of Lincoln at Fiskerton Road. The Green Wedge is intended to facilitate species migration but this does not do so.
