Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 6937

Received: 04/03/2019

Respondent: Mrs Barbara Hedley

Representation Summary:

I accept the rational of moving the Green belt boundary to the new HS2 line, and with access off the Hallmeadow Road roundabout near the station. But losing this large open space needs substantial compensating measures within it to maximise green space areas within, provide additional footpaths throughout, and encourage safe spaces for all the community. New development on this scale should have an overall coherence. There need to be several points of minor access into the area so that it does not become an isolated enclave.
