Preferred Options for Sites
Representation ID: 65297
Received: 21/04/2014
Respondent: Sarah Smith
It is not mentioned in the commentary within Section 7 that for GT19:
Ecological factors are important - the site is adjacent to the canal, and occupation/development of this site will impact on the visual amenity of the Grand Union Canal.
Council's own documents show this land has a high sensitivity to housing development.
The Grand Union Canal Local Wildlife Site is adjacent to the site.
Why was point 3 not mentioned in Section 7 of this document?
Why is GT19 proposed as a Preferred Site given this sensitivity?
7. Sites Summary Table
GT19 - OBJECT
This key point has not been mentioned in the commentary within Section 7 which is a major omission on the part of the Council and once again misrepresents the actual situation at GT19:
1. Ecological factors are important as the site is adjacent to the canal, and occupation / development of this site will impact on the visual amenity of the Grand Union Canal.
2. The Council's own plans show that this land has a high sensitivity to housing development.
3. The Grand Union Canal Local Wildlife Site is adjacent to the site.
Why was point 3 not mentioned in Section 7 of this document? Why is GT19 proposed as a Preferred Site given this sensitivity?
Please respond.
