RADAR objects to this on the grounds of Soundness. CDC has a dismal track record on Planning Enforcement. What confidence can any Inspector have that the CDC will implement or enforce proposed Policies given what has happened at a Premises in West Street recently.(withheld for Legal reasons) Past performance undermines the Soundness of the Plan and possibly the Legality. City should be protected by the CDC but Planning Department who have not implemented/enforced policies with any effect/Confidence nor taken account of the sensitivity of the area next to Cathedral/Boarding School and has left the Conservation Area and Residents and RISK.
