Received: 14/12/2020

Respondent: mr Graham Cockroft

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

The plan documents include 5 different versions of the site and its boundary. The Concept Masterplans document shows four different versions: Site Analysis Page52; Landscape Assessment P54; Developer Proposal P56; Illustrative Concept Masterplan P58. The proposed policies map shows a fifth. Until only one is defined, it is impossible to properly assess and address many of its impacts and associated proposals. Particularly Green Belt and boundary; hedge and tree retention; visual impact; whether or not a Country Park is intended, and its extent, impact and details.

Change suggested by respondent:

Make the plan documentation internally consistent. There can be only one definition of the site proposed for release. Which is it?
Re-consult locally with an unambiguous proposal, and appropriate detail.
