Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8136

Received: 14/03/2019

Respondent: Dr David Gentle

Representation Summary:

The site is too big and poorly located. The boundaries are problematic. Access routes will exacerbate traffic congestion, parking problems and pollution.
There are issues of LA funding priorities with Option 2. The scheme has grown beyond its original concept, entailing the allocation of massive public funding to one establishment. Option 1 would give the LA more flexibility in addressing more urgent needs.
Need to address street view - concern at what is meant by 'perimeter block development to encourage active streets'.
Lack of clarity about the proposal for the Music/Drama block.
