Hastings Development Management Plan Proposed Submission Version
Representation ID: 5568
Received: 15/04/2013
I support the proposal to designate the area of land in the Upper Ore Valley (Speckled Wood) as Local Green Space. This is a welcome step toward the Ore CLT aims to see the whole of Speckled Wood protected from development and used as a community woodland and open space. There is very considerable support for this in the local area and beyond. Over 1300 people signed a petition to this effect in 2012. The area has very little accessible open space and is a high density area. Many people use the woodland for recreation and animal habitat needs protection.
