Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035
Representation ID: 96

Respondent: Dr Carolyn Cobbold
The AL6 link road and commercial development site flies in the face of climate change resilient planning. It is adjacent to internationally designated habitat sites, crosses Flood Zones 2& 3 and degrades significant views of cathedral and Downs from harbour, marina, Salterns Way and A286.As such is contrary to CDC's own ICZM policy. The environmental, social and economic harm to the tourist industry completely outweighs any (unproven and short term) benefit.Directing more Manhood traffic off the A27 and onto the A286, the most congestion prone road in the district, is an unsound strategy.
