Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 7106

Received: 07/03/2019

Respondent: Mr Alex Lukeman

Representation Summary:

Former Site 13 (land south of Shirley between Whitlock's End Farm and Dickens Heath Road).
This site has been removed from potential development but its future requires protection for the continued enjoyment of residents. In view of its sensitivity, ancient trees, hedgerows, ecology, and ancient historical interest this needs to be developed as a nature reserve. It is well used and should be protected for future generations as recommended in the National Planning Policy Framework as offsetting to mitigate loss of greenbelt. Concerns are that this site may be affected by wash over from Site 26 unless protection is afforded.
