Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 19597

Received: 29/04/2010

Respondent: Mrs Pauline Young

Representation Summary:

YES - Locations 117, 118, 119, 162 and 204 (duplicated at 47) all based around the Victor Gardens area in Hawkwell (not Hockley) have the potential between them to deliver up to 293 dwellings. They have been rejected on the grounds they are fairly detached from local services and schools, and not located well in relation to the transport network. I don't know who made the assessment but this location is nearer to schools, shops and the train station and better located in terms of the transport network than the currently selected proposals at Rectory road locations SH1,SH2,SH3,SH4.

Additionally the Clements Hall leisure centre and its associated playing field adjoin this area so it is factually incorrect to state the site is not within proximity of leisure facilities. There are several access roads out from this site to the main highway since it is located onto an existing residential estate.
