Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 112

Received: 09/01/2017

Respondent: Mr Justin Wilkes

Representation Summary:

Dickens Heath / Tidbury Green. The proposed area to the West of Dickens Heath could be improved by shifting the boundary south, splitting site 176 in 2. This would divert traffic onto larger roads, move housing closer to existing facilities and preserve the businesses/amenities that currently operate to the North of this proposed area. Call for Sites ref 8 is currently categorised as a Local Nature Reserve but it hasn't been such for over 20 years when drainage alterations meant the ponds dried up. It is currently ugly scrubland which would be vastly improved if included.
