Representation ID: 5303

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Robin McDonell

Representation Summary:

Data issues and specifically the very out of date citation re Curlews which are now on the RED endangered species list.

Full text:

3.7: States "no credible risk" in following areas:
2nd bullet point should read Farm "BUILDINGS"
3rd,& 4th: within 25m of settlement boundary ( where you are trying in the Local Plan document, to tell us that B-i-W has no firm settlement boundaries) & within 25m of a main road. Where is the evidence to support this? Burley residents have ample metadata'd photographic evidence that this is very wrong.
5th Arable: note1:"...arable CAN be used by SPA species, but BDMC its considered of ltd importance beyond 400m"
Para 3.8: species stated. Curlew & lapwing are the two most seen types.
The citation on CURLEWS is 23yrs old, and not take account of the dramatic decline in species. Curlew now on the RED list, and subject to a massive national campaign to preserve them from extinction.
3.11 Must be an obligation to use.
3.12: NO WEBLINK to note 2
Table1:C: Sheltered etc: Visitors ?medical ?Transport ?Supplies ?
