New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 38790

Received: 13/09/2021

Respondent: Mr Stephen Dean

Representation Summary:

I agree that the local green spaces on Figure 44 are locally significant. I personally use Sweyne Park almost daily for exercise and leisure.

I believe that Hockley Woods should also be identified as holding particular local significance as a key natural resource for the wider district.

I am also concerned regarding site CFS164 - Lubbards Farm being identified for potential housing development as this is also valued green space locally. The perimeter bridle path is regularly used by the community for countryside walks away from buildings. Additionally, local roads cannot support more homes in this area.
