SOCS endorse the Northern Fringe Protection Group's points. The SA incorrectly states that the Core Strategy makes specific provision for the protection of European sites that mirrors the Habitats Directive as it fails to secure timely delivery of the Country Park to mitigate effects of new development. The SA should assess the implications of Table 8B stating that initial works at the Country Park are dependent upon occupation of 500 dwellings at Henley Gate and should take account of the CBRE HRA stating the Country Park should be delivered before occupation of the first dwelling.

The manner of "last minute", poorly drafted "revisions" to the Executive paper on the 15th October [2013] on CS10 were unacceptable, and in breach of protocols and SCI. The subsequent failure by IBC to properly clarify the changes and place them in the public domain in a timely and transparent fashion added to the confusion and was not in the public interest. The revisions make a fundamental change in direction that has "seriously undesirable unintended consequences" which should be properly referenced, appraised and evaluated within the SA. The CS10 changes are not properly referenced nor track-changed within the SASR.
