Inspector's Preliminary Findings on HBC Development Management Plan (ID/9)

Representation ID: 9676

Received: 27/03/2015

Representation Summary:

Modification welcomed, agree that the figures of indicative capacity should not be absolute. However we would like to see this proposed policy wording strengthened to include reference to the natural assets on the site, not just the views. For example:

'...Of principle and greater consequence for every scheme, however, will be matters which include the design, height, mass and appearance of the proposed building(s), layout (including the provision of a safe and convenient access), trees, biodiversity, green infrastructure and relationship with the surroundings...'

This would help increase the Plan's emphasis on environmental considerations as per paragraph 4 of ID/9.
