Area 1. The existing "Retained vegetation" cannot be retained as it will need to be removed for construction. The balancing pond and most of the trees will need to be removed in this area.
Area 2. This space is too narrow and overlooked to be of utility; furthermore it is bounded by a road on one side.
Area 3. Too many functions are included for such a small space.
No provision is made within the greenspace design for formal sports or for allotments, both of which need to be provided under local plan policy. We request that the greenspace is redesigned to run west-east across the site centre and extended to include sports provision and allotments. This was raised repeatedly during consultation events.
