GC POLICY 6: COMMUNITY AND SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Representation ID: 127

Received: 23/06/2023

Respondent: Mrs Sarah Chandler

Representation Summary:

Regarding Health care provision, I fully support creation of additional services especially GP practice professionals, pharmacists, dentist and buildings. Parsons Heath Medical Practice has been closed to new patients who need to register with a GP for some time as the practice is at full capacity. Local providers will not be able to meet increased demand so it is essential that adequate measures are taken. Expansion of hospital services will also be required to cope with the demands of an increased local population.

GC POLICY 6: COMMUNITY AND SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Representation ID: 128

Received: 23/06/2023

Respondent: Mrs Sarah Chandler

Representation Summary:

Provision of Neighbourhood Centres, Community Buildings, Education, Sports and Health are essential from the very beginning and with a national shortage of qualified professionals to provide these services, the facilities need to be carefully designed to both meet the needs of the local population and to be attractive to professionals. 'Infrastructure first' must always apply.

GC Policy 7. Movement and Connections

Representation ID: 129

Received: 23/06/2023

Respondent: Mrs Sarah Chandler

Representation Summary:

As a regular cyclist, I approve the plans for cycling provision if they are as described. Compromises would diminish their success. The design of the homes needs to accommodate multiple bikes in each household and hubs for cycle repairs and servicing would help sustained use. Safe and easy access to cycle routes outside the GC, e.g. the Colchester Orbital is important. Easy routes to locations such as the city centre, hospital, coast, railway and libraries are needed.

GC POLICY 1: LAND USES AND SPATIAL APPROACH

Representation ID: 130

Received: 23/06/2023

Respondent: Mrs Sarah Chandler

Representation Summary:

Securing a new Country Park at Salary Brook is a wonderful idea. I'm a frequent visitor to the area and am keen to see the cycle path improved to take out the blind corners and segregate cyclists from walkers with room made for all. The land in the present Nature Reserve is in the Colchester City boundary but I'd like to see expansion to create a substantial buffer zone between Greenstead and the Garden Community. The policy doesn't explain which authority will have responsibility for long term maintenance or how this will be funded in perpetuity.

GC POLICY 2: NATURE

Representation ID: 132

Received: 24/06/2023

Respondent: Mrs Sarah Chandler

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? Yes

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

I doubt that the new Country Park at Salary Brook and provision of Suitable Accessible Natural Greenspace (SANG) will have significant impact on reducing trips to the Essex coast. The environments are different and individuals need to have a wide range of leisure and recreational activities to maintain optimum physical and mental health. Focus should be on sustainable transport and safe cycling routes to enable visits to local places of interest, e.g. Tenpenny Hill on the B1027. Other Tendring initiatives such as the new Beach Hut Strategy are promoting visits to the coast.

Change suggested by respondent:

Remove the sentence "This will reduce the amount of day-to-day recreational trips to the sensitive Essex coast."

Representation Summary:

If Housing Infrastructure Fund monies are insufficient for the full cost of the A133-A120 link road how can planning approval be given to the Garden Community?
What happens if only the first phase at A133 end can be completed because rising costs make financial delivery of the second phase linking to A120 untenable?
I am concerned about the likely increase in traffic on the A133 affecting travellers from Elmstead Market, Wivenhoe, Alresford, Thorrington and Brightlingsea.
What is the exact route of the RTS alongside Clingoe Hill?
The impact of the RTS on Greenstead roundabout is unclear in the plan.

Change suggested by respondent:

Explanation of the two phases of construction of the link road A133-A120.
The plan needs to include a detailed description of the RTS route outside of the Garden Community so its impact on Clingoe Hill and the Greenstead roundabout can be understood.
