Development and Site Allocations (DaSA) Local Plan - Options and Preferred Options

Representation ID: 22435

Received: 19/02/2017

Respondent: Mrs Drusilla Tramaseur

Representation Summary:

I agree with the provision of wet and dry sports facilities on this site. The swimming pool should be of the correct size and depth to allow competitive swimming, as well as a separate pool for learners and water exercise classes, etc. Ideally a separate diving pool should be included.
It is also important that the ten-pin bowling facility is replaced following its loss from Ravenside when Marks & Spencers took over its site. Younger residents lost a valued entertainment..
Hotel accommodation on this site will do nothing to encourage visitors to the town centre.
