Core Strategy Consultation on Strategy Directions 2008

Representation ID: 19720

Received: 02/03/2009

Respondent: Messrs. Chishick, Commotto and Terry

Representation Summary:

This section is excellent.
We support the decision to set high quality design as a central and distinct strategy theme, rather than rely on a general expectation.

We urge the inclusion of a strategy to encourage improvements to the public realm, particularly by the highways authorities and statutory undertakers, in the normal course of repairs and maintenance (not just when upgrading or undertaking new developments).

Strategy (d) to provide design guidance is very welcome. We trust this will include archaeological advice when work is contemplated on historic structures. The lack of such advice has been an issue recently in Winchelsea.
