Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 7709

Received: 12/03/2019

Respondent: Lucy Shepherd

Representation Summary:

Although I live on wychwood, I do not object to a sensible development and think the proposal of sports and recreational facilities is a good one. I am concerned that public transport is made available, public rights of way are preserved and the feeling of space is kept so the site is not overdeveloped. Buildings should be low and floodlighting should be dealt with sensitively so as not to disturb wildlife in the wychwood nature reserve. The site makes sense for development over other greenbelt areas as it was formerly used as a commercial nursery and arguably extends existing estates.
