Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 1474

Received: 15/02/2017

Respondent: David Knowles

Representation Summary:

Object to the number of houses proposed for Knowle as disproportionate and unsustainable and is not justified by the Council's methodology, and in particular, the proposal for Arden Academy to have new school premises funded by large scale housing is completely unacceptable, as to lose such a large site to housing will cause significant loss of valuable and attractive landscape as well as eroding our sense of village community as we become more and more like a town!

Access to the site would be via Knowle High Street adding to the pollution and congestion residents already experience.

My view is that the number of houses proposed for Knowle is disproportionate and unsustainable and is not justified by the Council's methodology.

In particular, the proposal for Arden Academy to have new school premises funded by large scale housing is completely unacceptable.

To loose such a large site to housing will cause significant loss of valuable and attractive landscape as well as eroding our sense of village community as we become more and more like a town!

Access to the site wold be via Knowle High Street adding to the pollution and congestion residents already experience.
