Core Strategy Submission Document

Representation ID: 16181

Received: 02/11/2009

Respondent: Pond Chase Nurseries Ltd

Agent: Boyer Planning Ltd

Representation Summary:

We support this policy for provision of public open space and to safeguard existing open spaces.

The development proposals for Pond Chase Nursery site will provide new areas of public open space and also areas where nature conservation will have a priority and public access would be limited.

With regard to the built up nature of the urban areas, the retention of existing areas of open space remains of significant importance for existing and future residents. Residential development should not only ensure that it does not remove existing open spaces, but makes provision compatible with the scale of development proposed.
