The proposed modification involves the amendment of the boundary of one of the approved Local Green Spaces. Namely, site Number 9 ‘two small areas of Land off Alton Hill, Alton’. The proposal is to remove the area on the east side of Quarry Lane, the other small triangular area on the west side is to remain.
