Respondent: Mel Starling

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

This site was rejected in the 2013 master plan as being unsuitable because of the topography of the land. Nothing has changed make it suitable now.

I dispute the assertion that building on this land would "round off" the settlement in a logical manner , Wychwood Avenue is very separate because of the Nature reserve and stream, and Hampton Road houses finish opposite Grimshaw Hall which already forms a logical border to the village.

There is nothing logical about taking green belt to move a football club far from the centre of the village, next to the tranquil canal.

Change suggested by respondent:

No provision for the impact on the residents of Chantry Heath Crescent i.e planting trees or a green buffer. Grimshaw Hall is barely visible from Hampton Road yet it is afforded a huge buffer from the development.Unfair.
Low density housing should be built behind Chantry Heath Crescent to mirror the existing housing and not adjacent to a football complex.
Will the football complex be for public use and who will maintain it ?.
