Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 7710

Received: 12/03/2019

Respondent: Lucy Shepherd

Representation Summary:

Arden Academy desperately needs work so out of two options I would support option 2 and school relocation. However, I object to any high density housing given loss of green belt and dramatic change of character it would mean, particularly in light of poor existing developments (Middlefield). Knowle will not be a village if this continues. If we must have more housing, I support option 2 for new Arden and new primary school, but we need better public transport, low density housing to fit in with what is here already and no more widening of the catchment area for Arden.
