Core Strategy Consultation on Strategy Directions 2008

Representation ID: 19153

Received: 26/01/2009

Respondent: Mr Nigel Jennings

Representation Summary:

paragraph (h) refers to allowing small scale infill and redevelopment. This presumably includes gardens of existing houses. There has been some concern expressed in recent years about the effect of building in gardens and the way that can alter the charactor of an area and harm urban biodiversity. I would like to see some qualification to this to prevent harm to the neighbourhood charactor.
