REJECTED SITE AD/013
Despite the clear beneficial location of the Bolton Road (Site AD/013) outside the 2.5 km SPA/SAC and in close proximity to the primary school and within close walking proximity to services and facilities within the Local centre, it has been rejected due to ‘landscaping constraints’. However, other sites which have been suggested for allocation make reference to ‘sensitive site design to mitigate any impact on landscape character’. Site AD013 is not in any sensitive landscape designation (over and above any other of the preferred allocations) and as such, there is no reason as to allocate site over and above this well-located site.
Site AD/013 is located within two existing pockets of housing and across the road from the caravan park. All these existing built forms are what is immediately visible when travelling along Bolton Road from the north.
-Request that AD/013 is allocated within the Publication draft as it represents sustainable development.
-Site will continue to be promoted through all the various stages of the Local Plan process and be heard by the Inspector.
