New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 39203

Received: 20/09/2021

Respondent: Mr Paul Morris

Representation Summary:

Site CFS064 adjacent to Betts Wood is not suitable for housing or commercial development for a number of reasons including:
1. Road access would have to be through existing residential roads not designed for increased volume of traffic.
2. It would isolate the existing wildlife in Betts Wood including at least one badger set.
3. The current field drains into a small stream that in the past has caused flood damage to some houses in Westminster Drive. Building houses or commercial units would increase the risk of localised flooding.
