Preferred Site Allocations 2018

Representation ID: 18674

Received: 08/02/2018

Respondent: Mr Crispin Hanson

Representation Summary:

The site is not appropriate for development on the grounds of heritage and agriculture. Development would have an impact on the Grade II listed buildings. There are also a number of grade A and B trees in the area, and the removal of these trees would change the character of the area. Restoration of 'Greenwoods' and replacement of the other existing dwellings designed to be in keeping with the listed buildings would be a far more appropriate development opportunity and more in keeping with the local community.

I write to OBJECT to the preferred site allocation 083, Land West of Warley Hill, Pastoral Way, Warley. The site is not appropriate for development on the grounds of heritage and agriculture. The indicative 43 new dwellings would impact greatly upon the setting of the grade II listed lodge, water tower and the old hospital it self, especially with a 25 - 30dph density. In addition, the number of grade A and B trees in and around the site that would have to be removed to facilitate a development would change the character of the local area. Restoration of 'Greenwoods' and replacement of the other existing dwellings designed to be in keeping with the listed buildings would be a far more appropriate development opportunity and more in keeping with the local community.
