Respondent: Miss Elizabeth Brace

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? Yes

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

There are some anomalies between the masterplans with regard to access onto Grove Road, Knowle, Site KN2

Change suggested by respondent:

1. With reference to the Site Analysis Plan, Barn End, which is a Grade 2 listed building, is not indicated as such. In addition, major oak and ash trees alongside the development on the Grove Road boundary are not indicated.
2. The Landscape Assesment plan indicates a link between habitats, i.e Local Wildlife Sites. Originally Grove Road was going to be permanently closed to achieve this, but this does not now appear to be indicated.
3. The SMBC Concept Plan indicates two access points on Grove Road, yet the description mentions two. The BDS Concept Plan also indicates two access points, and the southern most access points don't take into consideration lack of visibility, existing trees and height differences between road and development site.
4. The Plans should indicate the retention of the rural character of Grove Road, it's screening from the development, and the treatment of it's junction with the A4141
