Respondent: mr Graham Cockroft

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

BL2, 2.v. requires the preservation only of trees and hedgerows fronting Dog Kennel Lane. It is equally important to preserve these along Stratford Road, and to preserve all the existing significant trees within the site and the important historic hedgerows in the eastern part - similar to the protection proposed for the less prominent BL1 site.

Change suggested by respondent:

BL2 2.v. should be modified to:-
Trees and hedgerows along Dog Kennel Lane and Stratford Road should be retained to protect the character of the highway. All significant trees and ancient hedgerows within the site should be retained to enhance views into the site from public footpaths and the wider area, and to reflect the adjacent Arden Pastures Landscape.
