Preferred Options Site Allocations and Policies (incorporating IP-One Area Action Plan) DPD Review

Representation ID: 25850

Received: 12/03/2019

Respondent: Ravenswood Environmental Group

Representation Summary:

No justification for reverting from employment to housing. Traffic impact has not been assessed. Nothing to rule out piecemeal planning applications. The site is visually and ecologically connected to the adjacent nature reserve. Density at 35dph is higher than surroundings. Need for green infrastructure will increase this density. Vagueness about how it will come forward. Without a comprehensive and cumulative assessment of all proposals in this area the piecemeal developments would exacerbate bad planning impacts on biodiversity, green space, traffic, noise and air quality. A comprehensive proposal must be subject to EIA. Referred to as brownfield but clearly greenfield land.
