(i) para 2.2.26 fails to mention the Mill Road Conservation Area Appraisal's identification (p55) of the former Library as a Building at Risk. This is a key issue directly relevant to the Depot site. Why is it not even mentioned, let alone addressed, anywhere in the draft SPD? The unsubstantiated claims by Council officers in a recent Local Plan Hearing that the former Library is no longer at risk, are contrary to all evidence: see Appendices 1 and 2.

(ii) para 2.2.26 does not mention the "Overlarge advertising hoarding on the side elevation of 'Emporium' No. 117 Mill Road, opposite the Free Library" (Mill Road Conservation Area Appraisal, "positive negative and neutral issues" p44). This hoarding disfigures the entrance to the whole site.
