Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8863

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Mr Eric Homer

Representation Summary:

Site 11 - The Green

Of all the sites in and around Shirley this is the one that I consider to be a good location. Any development in this area will have a significant impact on infrastructure however it is an existing Brownfield site and has good transport connectivity. However I am disappointed that a significant opportunity has been missed. Rather than building even more car showrooms this land could have been better utilised by building houses. The mixed use area of this site should be for housing, reducing the need to develop inappropriately on Greenfield sites 26 and 4.
