Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8570

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Warwickshire Wildlife Trust

Representation Summary:

The Ecological Assessment (Jan 17) identifies areas of woodland and meadow grassland that are of significant ecological value along with species rich hedgerow and veteran trees.
The concept plan proposed by Pegasus and Richbrough Estates retains the some of the meadow grassland, but dissects the field with the access road. The SMBC concept plan shows the access road to one edge of the meadow grassland which would allow better management of the space as one unit. We therefore support the SMBC concept plan.
