Development Management Plan Consultation Document 3rd February - 27th April 2012

Representation ID: 2362

Received: 21/03/2012

Representation Summary:

Neither the ecologist's report nor the exclusion of a part of Robsack Wood ancient woodland was highlighted to any planning committee members when the council brought this site back to the planning committee in 2008. However, through persistence and endeavour by those who wish to protect this important site, the council's own barrister advised that the outline consent should not be issued due to the unanswered ecological questions on this site. Indeed, a planning officer accepted that the true extent of ancient woodland had not been presented to the planning committee.
