New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 37884

Received: 12/08/2021

Respondent: Mr Samuel Martin

Representation Summary:

I agree with the priorities but feel they are in the opposite order. The highest priority should be Making suitable and sufficient provision for climate change mitigation and adaptation with Meeting the need for homes and jobs in the area being the lowest.

With this area being in a major flood risk area it doesn't make sense to me to have the highest priority being increased homes and commercial if we are not conserving what exists and any new infrastructure/homes etc are more at risk. I still agree that homes/jobs are a priority but not this ranking.
