Draft Local Plan Review
Representation ID: 1717
Received: 17/02/2017
Respondent: Andrew Baynes
The Draft Local Plan is driven by a statutory requirement to deliver one. However, it is a tawdry document, that will deliver great profit to developers. What it won't deliver, particularly from a Shirley perspective, is an improved quality of life.
Instead, the future it promises is of increased congestion, increased demand for services, banal high-density development. It offers little in the way of vision, of improvement - certainly to Shirley.
Opportunities for change aren't being seized; instead we're offered piecemeal nibbling away at open space and distinctiveness. A shabby little plan of pusillanimity.
