Tendring Colchester Borders Garden Community Development Plan Document (DPD)

I would like to support the option C with land use south of A133 restricted to sports use e.g. University plus open to community, possibly parking and sports pavilions, set in green planting to make a clear distinction from housing development north of the A133. This is a huge improvement to the previous proposal set out in the first consultation.
I am also pleased and relieved to see that now there is no plan of spilling over down the slopes of Salary Brook but instead a plan for a country park, vital to preserve the ridge skyline seen from Greenstead.

Link road is vital to be completed at the beginning of phase 1 housing development. Funding seems not secured completely, therefore priority might have to be changed from RTS to link road and funds reallocated, in order to complete link road first, with access to the business park in the corner off link road junction with A120 which would then attract businesses. The existing bus routes could be changed to create a reliable, frequent, affordable (say, flat fee of 2 pounds a trip, or smart card, free for residents), joined up loop linking new development with university, Hythe, north STation, hospital, stadium, and via link road back to A133.

Concern about sequence and order of action, regarding RTS and link road between A120 and A133

I am generally in favour and impressed with the improved new proposal and how views and comments of the public have been taken into account, e.g. use of the land south of the A133. However, I still have some reservations and concerns, especially around the RTS and link road, and getting infrastructure in place before starting to build houses, see submission from the CLG of which I am a member.
