Regulation 18 Draft Local Plan

SKPR-65 (GR3-H4): Prince William of Gloucester Barracks (Mixed Use Allocation)

Representation ID: 1415

Received: 25/04/2024

Respondent: The Woodland Trust

Representation Summary:

The Woodland Trust does not object to the principle of development on this site. We object to the scale of development envisaged in this policy, of up to 3,500 – 4,000 dwellings requiring loss of 45.5ha of woodland on site, some 60% of the total woodland and 80-100% of the new planting undertaken by the Trust.

We ask that the policy be amended to require a revised master plan with stronger focus on tree retention, a site-wide canopy cover target of 30% and compensation for any woodland loss through woodland creation to buffer and link nearby fragments of ancient woodland.
