Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 10470

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: IM Land

Agent: Stansgate Planning LLP

Representation Summary:

Site Selection Topic Paper.
Does not explain how rural settlements split between significant expansion and limited expansion. Dickens Heath and Cheswick Green included for significant expansion despite no secondary school and poorer accessibility in Accessibility Mapping, whilst Meriden highly accessible and has a wide range of services so should be identified for significant expansion.
There is no definition of limited/proportionate expansion. Site 10 would amount to c7% increase, so including Site 420 would only be c14%.
Mineral Safeguarding Area for Coal
Should be removed as no longer relevant, following closure of Daw Mill and re-opening not viable.
