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

Representation ID: 23190

Received: 19/02/2017

Respondent: Mrs Kathleen Doughty

Representation Summary:

Construction other than improvements to the current leisure facility would be detrimental to the Greenfield/recreational/historical aspect of the area.

Any buildings taller than the current facilities would not be in-keeping, depending on height they would block out light to two storey properties in Brassey Road and surrounding roads.

There would be a flood risk, as it is our garden becomes very water-logged for weeks after heavy rainfall (1 inch or so in depth). I feel sure further building on the floodplain would compromise the structure of our blocks of flats as well as preventing us from enjoying our garden.
