Staged payments and complete funding before start of last phase

No confidence that developers will come through with the necessary contributions.

Developer contributions will be a legal requirement for mitigation.... including ecological mitigation to ensure protected and section 41 species of flora and fauna present at Middlewick colonise the compensatory habitats successfully.

Developer contributions should be made a legal requirement (rather than 'contributions sought') for mitigation including ecological mitigation. This should include costs for the capture and translocation of protected and Section 41 species of flora and fauna present at Middlewick that have limited or restricted mobility, i.e. are unlikely to colonise compensatory habitats readily.

There is not room for improvement on old heath road and schools are already full to breaking point. Plus relocation of some species is not possible .

Contributions to should read as legally obliged to do so.

The Wick should be removed from the Local Plan completely.

'Developer contributions sought' is nowhere near strong enough. It should be a legal requirement enforceable with fines relative to the profits made by the developer concerned. In my experience, developers will avoid anything that might affect the profits they can make from building houses, hence why many of them fight hard to reduce the percentage obligation for affordable homes.

Include installation of potentially life-saving publicly accessible defibrillators at the pre-planning stages including commitment for ongoing low cost maintenance and power provision.

Community infrastructure must also include installation of potentially life-saving publicly accessible defibrillators and should be further agreed at the pre-planning stages including commitment for ongoing low cost maintenance and power provision.

I would like the wick to be saved and not have houses built on there , for me and many others will have a massive impact if it did , and also the wildlife

The build on the wick can’t go ahead REDACTED many REDACTED suffer extremely with REDACTED mental health and the wick is REDACTED only escape , also it will have a massive impact on the wildlife , I also know a lot of people that have said they will not pay there rent if this goes ahead , for the 6 years I have lived here the wick has been my only escape REDACTED.

Remove the Wick from the Local Plan.

All references to ecology, habitat, education, community infrastructure, accessible green space appear to have been removed?

No houses should be built

Who will be checking contamination and how will the public be able to check a transparent account.
Surely contamination will ruin habitat,grassland, trees, the brook and surrounding bordering land.

This modification needs to be strengthened so that all additional costs incurred as a result of this development are paid for by the developer and not the Council tax payer.
The developer will be required to pay in full for the extra costs of this development including ecological mediation etc and flood management and sewage infrustrucrure.

It should also be a condition that adequate accessible green space and public open space is made available to existing residents in the surrounding housing estates and should never have existing access reduced.
