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

Representation ID: 2524

Representation Summary:

Not a very good idea when ecology comes very low on the list of priorities when determining planning applications. Ecology studies, which are often inaccurate or performed at the wrong time of the year, are accepted without question. Having a defined boundary for development should in theory protect what little green space this town has left. Sites that have ecology and wildlife in abundance are destroyed by potential developers so that the sites appear to have no ecological worth. What is to stop an applicant from clearing the site before submitting a planning appliation?
