Site Assessment Pro Formas

Representation ID: 5113

Received: 03/09/2021

Respondent: Ms Ginny Ford

Representation Summary:

The development, when considered with allocations sites 634 and 1513 , means very little rural space gap left between Elstow and Shortstown and no gap between Elstow and Wixams which is unacceptable coalescence in the rural setting and landscape of these eastern clay vale villages and contradicts landscape assessment development guidelines. The land incorporates some attractive and biodiverse green lane footpaths and farmland birds such as yellowhammer (red list protected species) which even if net gain was introduced we would lose as these birds need hedgerows and open farmland. Houses and domestic animals would impact negatively on species found here.
