[email protected] Ms Charlotte Glancy Programme Officer, Banks Solutions 7th August 2020 Dear Ms Glancy, Written Statement on behalf of the Clewer Group and Clewer MAP We have pleasure in submitting our comments in respect of the Borough Local Plan 2013-2033: Response to Inspector’s second Guidance note. These relate to specific circumstances and issues affecting the area covered by the Clewer Group and Clewer MAP. Whilst we support a number of changes which have been made to the BLP, we wish to highlight some of our greatest remaining concerns, chiefly with regard to infrastructure and Green Belt sites AL21 and AL22. MATTER 10: INFRASTRUCTURE Policy IF3 Local Green Space 2. LGS Designations now number more than fifty in the Borough and many others are expected as more neighbourhood plans are adopted, including the Windsor Neighbourhood Plan which has now successfully undergone Examination and is awaiting referendum (delayed due to Covid-19). In our BLP SV Changes Consultation comments, we asked to see these existing spaces added to the noted “Poundfield” (Para 14.8.4) together with a “holding statement" in 14.8.2 stating: “More areas of designated LGS are expected to be identified and confirmed as more neighbourhood plans are adopted during the BLP period. The Borough will maintain a list of designated Local Green Spaces in the…(document name, eg.OSS 2019,) and update this annually.” We would ask for this matter to be comprehensively addressed by the Borough, and the inclusion of our proposed “holding statement”.
