Draft Schedule of Main Modifications to Section 2 Colchester Local Plan

Representation ID: 8219

Received: 11/11/2021

Respondent: Mr Paul Dundas

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

I am concerned about the deletion of the word “highly” in front of “accessible locations” in this main modification being deleted. If we are serious about transport modal shift and sustainable development all should be highly accessible either through existing methods or new as requited by this plan.

Accessible location is highly ambiguous. All locations are ultimately accessible by one means or another even by a one-way farm track so is really a quite meaningless term. Keeping the “highly” will enable a high standard of access to be thought about when detailed planning is brought forward including pedestrian, cycling etc..

Change suggested by respondent:

Re-instate the word "highly" in paragraph 2.
