Tendring Colchester Borders Garden Community Development Plan Document (DPD)

The green links should have a defined width no less than 100m and should have specified tree preservation and woodland/nature conservation management specifications.

The green links indicated in this section are not defined in terms of a width, and I understand that the width will be left to the discretion of the developers. These green links are the only internal green boundaries between the three communities, and as such should be defined in terms of a width of at least 100m. In particular the Crockleford community, the only existing community within the broad development area, is only been granted an unspecified 'green link', separating it from the northern community. This is far below the green buffers being afforded to Wivenhoe and Elmstead, communities outside the broad search area.

The area within the proposed 100m wide green links should also have specified tree preservation and woodland/nature conservation management specifications.
