Object to Site BL2 on number of grounds (see reps):
Heritage and Landscape:
- Issue previously raised and not addressed.
- Updated evidence does not provide necessary clarity to assess how development could affect heritage assets and landscape within the area.
- Policy and Concept Masterplan both have a fall-back position that could allow development harmful to the heritage asset.
- Should be more certainty in the Plan.
- Site also includes an underground Nuclear Monitoring Station. Not listed as a heritage asset, but is an important relic from the cold war period. Structure is in poor condition and at risk of being lost (see photo).
