Respondent: linda parker

Representation Summary:

I do not agree with the piece meal conversion of small agricultural buildings that adversely affect the surrounding countryside and residences, as this has lead to a fragmented farm redevelopment with small poor quality development for owner profit and little more than rural lock up and leave garaging/workshops for individuals that offers no employment above hobbies and blights proper site redevelopment in a unified plan eg coldharbour farm, a better use for it would be to demolish the rotting asbestos sheds and "units" and landscape it and build houses, but retain the green field areas and stop the industrial creep.
