Local Plan 2015-2030 Preferred Options for Consultation

Representation ID: 124

Received: 01/10/2013

Respondent: Mr Mark Connell

Representation Summary:

Unsound.

The text states that"Estimated capacity is based on density categories set out in the SHLAA and subsequent analysis". This statement is not correct.

The Wates Way site was not considered in the SHLAA. It was not considered for residential development nor densities of 130dph

The density stated has not been robustly tested. It is based on the developers promotional material only.

The capacity of access roads to support over 7% of the growth of the urban area is flawed. The density cannot be reconciled with a sustainable development and would result in other policies and technical standards not being met.

Unsound. Not based on a robust evidence base.

The text states that "Estimated capacity is based on density categories set out in the SHLAA and subsequent analysis". This statement is not correct.

The Wates Way site was not considered in the SHLAA. It was not considered for residential development, let alone for densities of 130dph

The density stated has not been robustly tested. It is based on the developers promotional material only.

The capacity of access roads to support over 7% of the entire growth of towns allocation is flawed. The density cannot be reconciled with a sustainable development and would result in other policies and technical standards not being met.
