Received: 22/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Neil Craig

Representation Summary:

Mine entry shafts in central area of the site and high risk mining activities elsewhere on the site. Southern area lies within 200m buffer zone of overhead powerlines. The whole site lies within designated Major Hazard Site (BASF and Solenis UK Industries). HSE would only advise limited development. Development should be restricted, Buffer zones incorporated around listed buildings, design, materials and layout should be in keeping with existing setting.
New dwellings should not affect open views of existing properties on Abb Scott Lane. Access to the dam, Judy Woods and existing rights of way should be maintained.
Conclusion
Access to and from the site must be fully investigated to understand the additional capacity forced on existing junctions.
Special attention should be placed on the health and safety concerns placed on people, flora and fauna by the proposed development.
