Addendum of Focussed Changes to the Pre-Submission Local Plan (Regulation 19)

Representation ID: 26526

Received: 25/10/2019

Respondent: Mr Anthony Cross

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

The proposed reduction in the number of dwellings has been arbitrarily calculated. The proposed reduction has no scientific or evidence based reasoning and does not adequately address or mitigate the significant concerns and objections raised as part of the original LDP (Pre-submission, Regulation 19). The proposed change only reduces the proposed number of dwellings and not the size and extent of the site being developed, so the adverse impacts of the development would not materially reduce.
There are more suitable alternative sites in the borough that are able to absorb the number of dwellings proposed for this site.

Change suggested by respondent:

Remove site allocations R25 and R26 from the LDP entirely. Any development of this greenfield, agriculturally viable and environmentally beneficial land would be detrimental to the village and natural environment.
