Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 7087

Received: 06/03/2019

Respondent: Janet Royle

Representation Summary:

I find it hard to believe land South of Knowle is 'medium landscape character sensitivity'. It is an attractive rural site and provides a green and pleasant entry to the village centre with much mature trees and wildlife - birds including nesting buzzards, bats, muntjac deer. It is being considered only because the landowners who stand to gain have submitted it.

It is wasteful and environmentally unsound to knock down existing School buildings - some of which have been relatively recently built at some expense.
(And why were academies given LA land for free to do as they please?)
