New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021
Representation ID: 39048

Respondent: Mrs karen bailey
I object to site COL07 (Mill Hall, car park and green) and also site COL20 Civic Suite with landscaped gardens to the rear being included in the Local Plan as a future residential development site. These areas are surrounded by listed buildings and should be maintained as part of the councils duty to preserve conservation areas. Removing car parks and replacing with residential housing would be detrimental to the town. Green spaces and trees are essential for biodiversity and public health and wellbeing . Sustainability is best is existing buildings are maintained not removed and replaced with new builds.
