Representation Summary:

There is a lack of consistancy given in the Station Area brief regarding residential development. I would like to see the 2 or 3 storey guidance extended to all residential development to help ensure high standards of design.

I am referring to two documents connected to the Local Plan: L35 SHLAA document and also Station Area Brief. I have an objection to some of the wording in the Station Area Brief. I think this should be addressed now as there is no development being proposed, and given the history of failed applications it would be helpful to both existing residents and developers to have guidance

In the Station Area Brief the housing that is highlighted in plan 12 North of the railway residential option, it is stated that storey heights to be 2 or 3 floors. This housing is shown behind 29 - 35 Avenue Road. However, in the Station Area Planning brief it is stated "High standards of design will be required for buildings and their external spaces in order to provide an attractive gateway to the town centre, with strong design and building heights ranging from three to five storey;"
