Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft
Ashwell
Representation ID: 2739
Received: 30/11/2016
Respondent: Mr & Mrs Barry & Gill Field
Legally compliant? Not specified
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Not specified
Object on the following grounds:
highway safety;
protection of valued landscape;
protection of the historic environment;
lack of consultation on the extension to the settlement boundary; and
inadequate response to previous representations.
We should like to make an objection to the soundness of the NHDC Local Plan for Ashwell.
These objections can be summarised as follows:
* Site AS1 fails to meet the requirements for highway safety to protect pedestrians and other road users as defined in both National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and NHDC's own current and emerging planning policy for Highway Safety (Policy T1).
* Site AS1 fails to meet the requirements to protect valued landscapes. The site is within the North Baldock Chalk Uplands Character Area and development is restricted under National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and NHDC's own local planning policy, both current and emerging.
* Site AS1 fails to meet the requirements to protect the historic environment. The site is within the setting of the scheduled ancient monument Arbury Banks and is protected by NPPF and NHDC policy (SP13, para 4.151).
* NHDC has failed to consult on the proposals to extend the settlement boundary in locations other than AS1 (within which there would be a presumption in favour of development; Policy SP2) and has not responded adequately to previous representations.
Please consider these objections before putting forward plans that will have such an unacceptable impact on this environment.
