Local Plan 2040 Draft Plan - Strategy options and draft policies consultation

Representation ID: 4169

Received: 30/08/2021

Respondent: Mr Keith Turner

Representation Summary:

The 15 criteria, 7 criteria have the same score for all options, so make no difference to the
assessment. These include 2. Protecting and maintain biodiversity and 8. Landscape
character
The remaining 8 criteria where scores vary between options, 3 are effectively the same: 1.
AirQuality; 3. Reduce CO2; 15. Reduce travel/promote sustainable transport. So in reality, of
the 15 criteria only 6 criteria make a difference. We do not believe this is reasonable or
sufficient.
Landscape character – all options score the same and the words fail to fully recognise
the impact of new settlements on the existing landscape.
