Date submitted	Name and link	What it says
28^th October	James Bailey Planning Ltd, for the Sheffield Green Belt Alliance (PDF)	Challenges the evidence supporting the proposed allocations, including farmland loss, urban alternatives, infrastructure and deliverability.
28^th October	Sheffield Green Belt Alliance	Asks for a published account of housing capacity in built-up areas before the modified Green Belt allocations are confirmed, and for explanations of reduced safeguards and firm arrangements for local facilities.
28^th October	Save S13 Green Belt	Questions why the Council ruled out Ryecroft Farm as unavailable while treating a tenancy at Town End Farm differently. Asks for its lease and assessment to be published and for it to be appraised as an alternative to SES30 if the lease constraint is removed.
28^th October	Chapeltown, Ecclesfield and Grenoside Save Our Green Belt Action Group	Challenges the combined effects and deliverability of seven Green Belt allocations in Chapeltown, Ecclesfield and Grenoside, including farmland loss, housing capacity, local facilities and infrastructure. Asks for reassessment of the evidence and alternatives before the allocations are confirmed.
28^th October	Michael Parkin (community facilities)	Says the Council has not assessed or secured the community facilities needed for SES29 and SES30 together. Asks the Inspectors to resolve provision, delivery and any effects on housing capacity before confirming the allocations
28^th October	Michael Parkin (farmland)	Says the Council uses Defra's predictive farmland map to support individual allocations without publishing the extent or grades of farmland affected. Asks for comparisons of alternatives and retention of survey requirements
28^th October	Michael Parkin (Yorkshire Water)	Questions the different meanings given to Yorkshire Water's red ratings in its disclosed assessment and the published infrastructure evidence. Asks for the position on sewer capacity and the funding and timing of upgrades to be established before relying on homes from SES30 and NES37.
22^nd October	Michael Parkin (affordable housing)	Challenges whether the affordable housing total in FMM33 is supported by the figures and delivery evidence in EXAM 187A. Asks for a revised total based on a published breakdown by location, corrected housing figures and evidence of funding.
	Clive Betts MP	Raises concerns about the Quaker burial ground at SES30, transport provision, the proposed SES29 roundabout and the late publication of the equality assessment. Calls for updated traffic modelling, consideration of Infield Lane as an alternative and a fairer distribution of development.
	Marie Tidball MP	Asks for NES37, NES38 and NES39 to be removed from the Plan, with replacement homes through urban alternatives and higher densities linked to public transport. Seeks a pause to the examination and changes to farmland protection, Hesley Wood safeguards and affordable housing figures.
