DM2 - I feel we have a problem with a lack of space for development and therefore have no option but to build upwards especially with regard to homes. But I feel our green spaces should be protected.

Representation Summary:

Page 21. I cannot argue with the requirements put forward as a basis for approving tall buildings. I just cannot agree that the requirements are robust enough i.e. they are too vague and I doubt it is possible to design a tall building that does not cause a micro climate change nor create wind turbulence. Moreover I do not believe it is possible to accurately assess those factors in a modelling exercise. As a consequence any development proposal is bound to be speculative as to its impact.

Issue DM2- Tall Buildings, p20

English Heritage and CABE have produced guidance on Tall Buildings and this is referred to (though English Heritage should be referenced). The context section appears to embody much of our advice, however; we do suggest in 1.2 of our publication that the existence of a tall building in a particular location will not, of itself, justify its replacement with a new tall building on the same site, or in the same area. The same process of analysis and justification should be required as for new sites.

Tall Buildings - suggested option, p20/21
WE have some concerns that this appears to look positively on tall buildings overall. The Borough Wide Character Study should inform this policy, and may suggest that no new tall buildings can be assimilated by the borough's townscape. The potential impact on heritage assets should be carefully assessed, and this should be a clear caveat within the policy.
