Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8735

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Mr Steve Coathup

Representation Summary:

This single site carries a hugely disproportionate share of the future needs of the borough. I do not accept that the land has a " medium landscape character sensitivity and low visual sensitivity and the landscape value of the area is medium".Expert testimony from Pegasus (reference paragraph 3) makes a sound case for excluding this site from the plan. The spatial strategy refers to the need for balance between large scale and dispersed developments. There is no evidence that this objective will be achieved by developing this site to the extent envisaged.
