Draft South Pennine Moors SPA/SAC Planning Framework Supplementary Planning Document

Representation ID: 5835

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Roger Wilson

Representation Summary:

Why are you talking about mitigation again straightaway? The Sun Lane development is too close (within 2.5Km) and no amount of mitigation can reduce the damage to zero. In chapter 1, it states that an Authority can only approve a plan if it won't affect the integrity of the European site. Also in the absence of certainty, a plan / project should not normally proceed. Applying these criteria, the Sun Lane development should not proceed.
