It does not include the responses submitted on the Council’s consultation form. Poole Local Plan. Consultation Report: Housing and Other Development Sites - Appendices. June 2017 2 Question 1: Do you have any specific concerns with any of the sites identified? Please select one option only - Yes / No / Don’t Know Respondent Comment Town Centre Development Dorset County DCC would have concerns for significant housing in the Hamworthy Area for the pressures it may Council generate on Dorset schools, specifically Lytchett Minster School that takes high levels of Poole Children. Are there plans for additional capacity or is there sufficient capacity within the Poole Secondary Sector to absorb these numbers of children? There is a similar concern for primary provision as Upton Schools are already under pressure from Dorset children and what spare capacity there is, is already taken up by Poole residents. If there is spare capacity in all phases of the education system in the area, this should be clearly evidenced and articulated otherwise additional provision will need to be planned for. Poole Quays Object to the densities on sites PCS11a-d as they would fail to deliver high quality design which Forum would preserve and enhance the character of the adjacent conservation area. The amount of amenity space and car parking would not be achieved, contrary to PQF1 and PQF3. PQF survey found that 55 of 99 responses did not support higher densities. Vision for Poole PCS11a and c is too high, meaning over-development, too high visible impact and congestion, they are adjacent to Listed Buildings and a Conservation Area, so height must be limited. Site PCS11b Between the bridges Vision for Poole Adjacent to Listed Buildings and Conservation Area so height must be limited. The last application was rejected both for design and height. W H White Ltd It would be naive to suggest that there is no correlation between design and the number of units delivered by a scheme. The decision to refuse planning permission for the previous scheme encapsulated the innate tension between higher densities and changing townscape character. PCS11c Pilkington Tiles & Sydenhams W H White Ltd Whilst a pragmatic approach to viability is required (the review of employment uses on the site), the drive for increased housing numbers should not compromise the opportunity to live, work and play in the heart of the town. Site PCS11d Former Power Station W H White Ltd Whilst the regeneration of this site would be welcome, 14 years on it remains unclear whether this site is deliverable in the near term or developable over the plan period to 2033. This in spite of significant public subsidy in the associated infrastructure, Housing Zone status and proposals to lower the proportion of affordable housing to 20% and CIL liability to £0. Miss R Law Concerned that following development of the Twin Sails Bridge the power station site will target wealthier people with the old bridge ripped out from the very heart of our once beautiful town. Site SSA5 Land at Sembcorp, Bournemouth Water Ltd, Francis Avenue Vision for Poole Acceptable as logical in-filling. W H White Ltd No objection to the identification of this site for employment uses, albeit the schedule makes no reference to the sites availability for the use or any other. Site SSA6 Land at Sterte Avenue West W H White Ltd Site has long been identified for future employment development. Previous commercial enquiries suggest that the site is being retained by Pork Farms Groups for future expansion – albeit no timetable is ascribed to this. This site cannot be considered genuinely available, and whilst WHW support its identification for employment use, delivery over the plan period is far from assured. Natural England Promoter should commission a basic survey to establish the biodiversity vale of the site. It is also used for informal recreational activities of a type which occur on the heaths which will be displaced, this is likely to require compensatory facilities close by, Upton Country Park may be well suited. Vision for Poole Acceptable as designated employment use. Site SSA11 Lagland Street Vision for Poole The site has a number of Listed and Locally Listed buildings and is within the Conservation Area, so height must not be more than 3 storeys and good design is essential. Poole Local Plan. Consultation Report: Housing and Other Development Sites - Appendices. June 2017 3 Respondent Comment Site SSA12 Goods Yard W H White Ltd The uncertainty over whether the full site area is genuinely available does not appear to have been reflected in the proposed housing figure (increased from a minimum of 200 to around 300). Site SSA13 Land at Lifeboat Quay W H White Ltd Support as the site is in a highly accessible location and its identification for office development is welcome, albeit the schedule makes no reference to the sites availability for the use or any other. With no new office space have been delivered in the regeneration area to date, it remains to be seen whether office development is a viable proposition. The site is relatively small (0.5ha) and of irregular shape. Thus it may prove challenging to accommodate the level of car parking, as well as the necessary servicing and floorplates necessary to support the development of a tall building. At one time it was understood that additional levels would be added to the multi-storey car park in response to new development. These are important issues which will need to be addressed. Vision for Poole Accepted as long as acceptable to the Poole Quays Forum. Site SSA14 East Quay Depot and Quay Thistle Hotel Vision for Poole Approve reduction to 150 to protect the area character. Within the Town Centre Heritage Conservation Area so good design is essential, compatible with Poole Quay. Site SSA15 Park Lake Road, Poole Park Vision for Poole Acceptable as an extension of the housing along Park Lake Road. Legal and General Support use of the site as an open space in order to support growth within Poole Town Centre W H White Ltd The site is owned by Council and is deemed to be readily available and capable of being delivered. Site SSA18: St Mary’s Maternity Hospital Ms S. Geddes Women who are pregnant don't have the time to get to Bournemouth,the traffic to get to Bournemouth is bad enough let alone making it more difficult. Its unfair on the staff and the pregnant woman also the ambulance service. You can't just take away a maternity hospital and put flats there, that maternity hospital have been their for years. Ms L. Venning Should it become necessary to redevelop this particular site, would hope that any development would involve close consultation with local residents from the very outset. A recent residents meeting agreed that residents would like any necessary development to be in keeping with the character of the area and the values of the conservation plan. Appreciate that family and affordable housing is very much needed in Poole, as elsewhere. Have also been made aware that mid-rise, tightly organised terraced housing can achieve greater housing density, which could help resolve this need. Would like to see the council explore these

    From: Melksham Rail User Group To: “Melksham Bypass Consultation” Date: 16th January 2021 Dear Sirs, Input to current "A350 Melksham Bypass" consultation from the Melksham Rail User Group Thank you for the early opportunity to provide input into the "A350 Melksham Bypass" consultation process. This input is written on behalf of the Melksham Rail User Group and was unanimously adopted at the group meeting on Wednesday 13th January 2021. 1. Please consider the Melksham Rail User Group and the TransWilts Community Rail Partnerships as stakeholders and consultees throughout this process 2. We commend options 4 and 5 (rail and bus) public transport and option 6 (cycle and walking) improvements, and note that they score very highly on deliverability, affordability and acceptability. Whilst they are unlikely to meet your objectives on their own, they should provide a valuable and significant element implemented as thoroughly as practical in any solution 3. Please look at alternative of long distance traffic routing via the already Highways England / Trunk A46/A36 route rather than by increasing capacity on the regional A350 (you have confirmed you can add other options at this stage). 4. Please take a look at the alternative of rail use for longer distance freight and medium and longer passenger traffic via the TransWilts railway line which parallels the A350 road. 5. Please ensure that any railway crossings (options 9a, 9b, 9c, 8a and 8b) allow for the line to be restored to a double track such that trains can path both ways under or over the bridge at the same time. Please rule out level crossings at each point that rail and road cross.

    Subject: Unexplained Lights Later in the night a red sun/ike light was seen through the trees. It moved about and pulsed. At one point it appeared to throw offglowing particles and then broke into five separate white objects and then disappeared. Immediately thereafter, three starlike objects were noticed in the sky, two objects to the north and one to the south, all of which were about 1 oo offthe horizon. The objects moved rapidly in sharp angular movements and displayed red, green and blue lights. The objects to the north appeared to be elliptical through an 8-12 power lens. Then they turned to full circles. The objects to the north remained in the sky for an hour or more. The object to the south was visible for two or three hours and beamed down a stream of light from time to time. Numerous individuals, including the undersigned, witnessed the activities. -from an oHicial memorandum wriHen by Charles I. Halt, Lt.
