Objection to SP2:
Should be amended to:
The majority of the District's development will be located within 1km of the station of the following towns: .....
or in new extensions on their boundaries contained within 1km of new stations, or within new settlements wholly within 1km of a new station.
In all other settlements only affordable housing and facilities for local community needs will be permitted.
ConnectedCities focuses all development in the 1 km radius pedsheds (see http://www.connectedcities.co.uk/vision-2050/pedshed ) of rail station, whether existing or new. This results in three conditions:
1. Town Growth Zones: development around existing stations. See http://www.connectedcities.co.uk/vision-2050/town-growth-zones
2. New Green Quarters: urban extensions in the pedsheds of new stations on the edge of existing towns. See http://www.connectedcities.co.uk/vision-2050/new-green-quarters
3. New Green Towns: new settlements in the pedsheds of new stations. See http://www.connectedcities.co.uk/vision-2050/new-green-towns
