Village Housing Options and Settlement Boundaries

Representation ID: 60883

Received: 15/01/2014

Respondent: Mr Michael Hinett

Representation Summary:

Development along the canal corridor must be avoided at all costs. I am a regular user of the canal towpath and place great value on it as an amenity. The effect on Local Wildlife of any development there will be disastrous (loss of habitat / feeding ground; disruption during construction; new residents' cats killing the many ducks, moorhens, rodents and hedgehogs that live along the canal). The canal is an area of significant natural beauty and heritage, a welcome retreat from modern development and as such must be preserved.
