Site BL1 is directly adjacent to three designated LWS’s and adjacent to designated Ancient Woodland and in the green belt. We have had a number of concerns from a vast majority of our members regarding this site.
The policy wording is also not considered to be strong enough stating ‘potential for enhancement and appropriate buffer to Tythe Barn Coppice ancient woodland’. The word ‘potential’ should be modified out of the plan text, appropriate buffers should also be included on all of the Local Wildlife Site edges. The Landscape Assessment (2016) states also that the Blythe area has a high overall sensitivity to new development.
The word ‘potential’ should be modified out of the plan text, appropriate buffers should also be included on all of the Local Wildlife Site edges.
