Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 10449
Received: 14/03/2019
Respondent: Jeanette McGarry
Concept Masterplan
Fails to factor in need for tunnels beneath roads crossing protected species habitat, or for ponds at either end.
Should identify and safeguard areas of biodiversity importance within the site.
Significantly underestimates impact of Windmill and its setting with visual impact shown restricted to Windmill Lane, which is clearly not the case. Higher visual impact shown for heritage assets on masterplan for Site 1. Concern echoed by experts/specialist organisations. Development will also adversely affect wind power essential to operation of Windmill and damage its ability to function.
Concerned that SMBC has failed to engage with owner over issue of free flow of wind with inadequate heritage impact assessment.
