Inspector's Schedule of Modifications

As employment is a requirement of section one of the plan it should be conditioned in policy that that area is
brought forward within the plan period i.e. before 2033.

It is clear from all the evidence produced that the most viable employment will
be brought forward via the employment area to the northeast of the site.

A definition of what is fast or rapid is needed. I.e. is it quicker than commuting
by car to the listed destinations.

The modification provides no clarity or definition on what fast or rapid means.

There must be specific mention of Wivenhoe Park
and the listed gatehouse on Colchester Road.

In principle we support this modification but it needs to be amended

The original ambition should remain, and a proviso that future legislation will
be applicable should these percentages increase.

We object to the watering down of this policy which was one of the few strengths of the DPD.

The modification should include that no construction should take place until
the wintering bird survey is complete. This should include the construction of any part of
the link road.

This modification is inadequate as it stands.

This needs an additional to say that the area woodland will be preserved.

Further clarification is needed with this modification

Therefore, this modification should state that only one of these facilities can be sited south
of the A133. It should also be stated that neither facility should prejudice the area shown as
the green buffer for Wivenhoe.

There physically isn't room for a park and ride south of the A133 and the
sports facilities proposed that will also allow for an adequate green buffer for Wivenhoe.

The alternative wording therefore should read - Where appropriate (in the context of existing heritage elements and settlements’ this will include the provision of indoor and outdoor floodlit facilities. And only providing there is no adverse impact on the environment, existing residents, or the sky at night.

Outdoor floodlit facilities will create significant visual, noise and light pollution for the listed park and Wivenhoe. Any built form will also interrupt valued landscapes from these areas too. Therefore, conditions on any such facility should be stated in the DPD and not left to a planning application condition.

This modification should include the registered park and listed gatehouse to the east of Colchester Road. Also, when referring to Wivenhoe’s strategic green gap a a reference to the coalescence break of the local plan and Wivenhoe’s neighbourhood plan should be included.

We don't object in principle to the modification but it is inadequate as it stands.

Phasing should follow the Infrastructure Phasing Document produced by the local authorities and should be be legally bound to the policy.

Existing public transport is not financed by Latimer so cannot be used as
mitigation for them in this context. Therefore, determination of phasing can only refer to
new transport measures funded as part of a 106 agreement for this development.
