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

Representation ID: 22830

Received: 20/02/2017

Respondent: Mr John Wilson

Representation Summary:

The new Link Road/NBAR was constructed in part because of the additional benefit, for both industrial buildings and also housing.
The land in question must be better suited for additional units than Spindlewood. It can also provide the infrastructure.

The Council's Planning Dept. could well benefit from the experience of other towns who have carried out schemes for housing but failed to provide the infrastructure first. I refer to Holmes Chapel in Cheshire.

The land on the north side of Barnhorn Road the original scheme did include some infrastructure but not included in the final approval.

Better Sites for Housing.

The Rural District Council has on many occasions made it clear that the new Link Road - NBAR - was constructed in part because of the additional benefit, for both industrial buildings and also housing.
The land in question must be better suited for additional units than Spindlewood. It can also provide the infrastructure all as per Note 4 of Question 4.
Use of this land will easily replace the Spindlewood Land and more.

Research by Rother District Council.

The Council's Planning Dept. could well benefit from the experience of other towns who have carried out schemes for housing but failed to provide the infrastructure first. I refer to Holmes Chapel in Cheshire. My daughter lived in this town and tells me that because they do not have adequate Surgeries in an emergency a patient has to wait in a queue for the only ten slots that day. This is just one of their problems I expect.

In the case of the approval already given for land on the north side of Barnhorn Road the original scheme did I understand include some infrastructure but not included in the final approval.
