Design and Townscape Guide - Refresh 2009 (Consultation Draft)

Representation ID: 27

Received: 16/04/2009

Respondent: Mr Glyn Evans

Representation Summary:

You say in para 41 'Developers should be able to demonstrate that their designs have been considered and respect local character.'

You must make it clear that local character does not include the nasty, brutal concrete buildings that have sprung up all over the town in the past 20-30 years, notably in Victoria Avenue and the town centre, and on the seafront. The local character of the town is essentially Victorian / Edwardian.
