Development Management Plan Focused Consultation 6th July - 17th Aug 2012

Representation ID: 3843

Received: 17/08/2012

Representation Summary:

'how we want neighbourhoods to develop'. This should be reworded to reflect how communities, not the Planning Department, want their areas to develop. If the Gensing Farm Residents Association [North, Alfred, Union, and Shepherd Streets, and Gensing Road] had not fought to get the scattered flint cottages in the area listed, the council's planning department would have razed the lot and there would now be blocks of 70's council flats, and carparks. Some in the Planning Department, and indeed across the town, may consider that would be an improvement, but residents both past and present would not agree. [98]
