Respondent: Richard Lloyd
Site selection is based on deeply flawed Green Belt and Accessibility analyses, skewed to secure a dividend from the proposed housing to support the proposed by-pass.
Expansion further into green belt invalidates assessments, no defensible green belt boundaries and is higher performing green belt, particularly for preventing settlements from merging.
Value for agriculture, environment, recreation underestimated, with poor housing yield due to need for mitigation. Fails to take account of visibility of heritage assets from south.
Proposed public open space in least accessible location, should be adjacent existing housing to mitigate impact.
Blocks of different densities inappropriate, should be inter-mixing and gradation.
Retention of mature trees should be integrated into design.
Poorly accessible by public transport and road, remote from employment areas.
