Site presents a major opportunity to deal with the threat from climate change and pollution of seas/waterways.

It is the largest/most important site in the Plan. It goes some way to outlining what future generations can expect but is not detailed enough or linked through to existing green spaces/waterways to give residents confidence in the benefit of the outcomes.

Development framework reads more like an advertising specification than how it will make a real contribution to the planet’s health, reducing global warming and technical innovation required to ensure nothing from sewerage waste enters the river or atmosphere. Challenging to be more specific however Council must do more to ensure this is what it will achieve.

Schedule of works shows building starting this year without detailed masterplan being available. This must address visual aspect of development. Extensive tree canopy providing visual amenity must be protected.

There is some housing proposed with significant environmental benefits. Providing developers develop the scheme to the standards stated then we are supportive.
