Received: 10/01/2019

Respondent: Dr Carolyn Cobbold

Representation Summary:

This development site is not climate change resilient and is contrary to NPPF and ICZM.It is adjacent to internationally designated habitat sites,crosses Flood Zones 2& 3,harms significant views of cathedral and Downs from harbour, marina, Salterns Way and A286.The site is physically removed from residential and other business areas and environmental, social harm and economic harm to tourist industry outweighs any benefit.The link road directing more local traffic off the A27 and onto the A286, the most congestion prone road in the district, is an unsound strategy.There are better sites for commercial development eg motor circuit noise buffer zone.
