DM2 Density of New Developments - Preferred Option
Representation ID: 21556
Received: 28/04/2010
Respondent: Aber Ltd
Agent: Colliers International
We welcome the aspirations to optimise the capacity of potential housing sites, but also recognise that housing should meet the needs of the whole housing market and that includes the demand for both smaller and larger dwellings, which would have an impact on the densities.
The most efficient use of land should be sought though good design having regard to local characteristics, the type and range of housing provided and prevailing national policy. We recommend that those sites in the most sustainable locations (within town centres and transport corridors), which have the ability to access services by means other than private car (public transport, cycling and walking) are maximised and should seek to have a net density of 50 dwellings per hectare or more.

DM24 Other Important Landscape Features - Preferred Option
Representation ID: 21559
Received: 28/04/2010
Respondent: Aber Ltd
Agent: Colliers International
It is recognised that the character of an area is made up of a combination of buildings and landscape; with the landscape made up of a range of landscape elements.
In developing proposals for a site it is important to consider the various landscape elements and consider the contribution to the landscape but also the potential impact to develop a site efficiently (e.g. a single tree could affect access on to a site and its development potential).
Therefore, the development of sites should consider the importance of landscape features (e.g. hedgerows), which could be removed in order to improve the layout and design of the resultant development. However, the loss of any landscape feature should be mitigated by the inclusion of additional landscape features, which should include a range of native species to enhance the areas flora and fauna. This will ensure that development have a positive affect on the landscape character of the area.

DM25 Parking Standards - Preferred Option
Representation ID: 21560
Received: 28/04/2010
Respondent: Aber Ltd
Agent: Colliers International
It is accepted that developments which are located in sustainable locations, will be well related to public transport, and ensure that it is accessible by means other than private car. However, the provision of too many parking spaces will be counter productive as it encourages people to use private cars ahead of other means of transport.
The use of minimum parking standards for residential developments is contrary to the advice contained within PPG13, which states that maximum parking standards should be used, and also contradicts the aim to reduce reliance on private vehicle, by encouraging residents to have more cars.
It is not considered to be sufficient to just limit parking at destinations, as residents will drive from their homes to the town centre, work place etc, which have maximum parking standards. This will put undue stress on these spaces and result in people parking elsewhere, including on-street and illegally, which could adversely affect traffic flows and road safety.
Therefore, maximum parking standards should be applied to all forms of development, however, within accessible locations (e.g. town centres or areas that have high levels of public transport accessibility), a relaxation of these standards may be appropriate.

Developments should be well related to public transport, and / or accessible by means other that the private car, in order to encourage the use of public transport, together with cycling and walking.
The provision of a safe and convenient network of cycle and pedestrian routes linking homes with workplace, services and town centres will assist in the safe movement of people around the area.

In accordance with the sequential policies contained within PPS4, it is important that new locations for commercial uses are sustainable and have access to public transport (to discourage employees driving to work), and ensure that employees have access to a range services and facilities.
