We are concerned that para 3.142 appears to assign policy for development of this part of St Mary's lands to a masterplan to be produced by the tenant of the racecourse. The current proposals for this masterplan which have reached the public domain do not appear to demonstrate any environmental sensitivity and it is inappropriate for this to be a policy in the Local Plan at this stage. The text relating to this policy makes references to the heritage significance of the racecourse and common in themselves, but totally ignores the presence of the Grade II* registered Hill Close Gardens on its boundary. It is essential that any policy for development on and within the racecourse should take account of that fact.
