New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 39421

Received: 21/09/2021

Respondent: Mr Jonathan Ess

Representation Summary:

Site COL38 should be protected from development as this Park is a well-used amenity by the local residents. It is used as a access point to Beckney woods, as well as a popular spot for dog walkers etc. This has previously been recognised by Mr Martin Elliott following an inspection in 2014 that concluded there is a public right of way. It is our understanding that this land is on peppercorn rent to Ashingdon parish council; from when the lease started in 2000 it had to be used as a play area for at least the next 100 years.
