Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 17881

Received: 12/04/2010

Respondent: Benjamin Gibson

Representation Summary:

This is without doubt the worst proposal by the council on housing in Canewdon.
Any attempt to place dwellings within this limited space will only serve the purpose of creating a "ghetto" style housing development where properties are built virtually on top of each other.
The plot is too small to be seriously considered as a genuine option for housing in the area.
Such a development would be at the detriment of the current residents of Canewdon who quality of life would suffer in order to simply satisfy government targets.
Noise pollution, loss of views, drainage and loss of community spirit would materialise.
