Representation Summary:

Light pollution
Most of the proposed sites are on the edge of settlements. Particular care and attention need to be given to any proposals for external lighting as well as any design that has a lot of glazing. Lighting in such edge of settlement areas needs to be fully justified, serve a specific purpose, be of the right design and intensity so as to not affect dark skies, such as the intrinsic dark skies of the Broads. Reference to lighting being only needed if fully justified and well designed needs to be made in relevant policies, especially the following as they are close to, albeit separated from, the Broads. Also, design with lots of glazing need to be avoided unless there is going to be automated shades incorporated into the design.

Policy VC GIL1REV: South of Geldeston Road and Daisy Way
Our concern is incremental pressure and expansion of development around Gillingham. Again, one of the main concerns is lighting and so consideration of lighting is of particular reference to this policy.

Representation Summary:

The policy states: ‘The boundary of the site incorporates areas at both surface and fluvial (Zones 2 and 3a) flood risk in the south-western corner and a remaining small area of tidal flooding in the southeast corner, which it is recommended are left undeveloped. Development of the site will require a site-specific Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) and strategy, to inform the layout of the site’. This should be made stronger and state ‘which must be left undeveloped’ as it is not acceptable to be allocating development in Zones 2 and 3a.

Policy VC BRM1: Land west of Old Yarmouth Road
The text says, ‘The developer is therefore encouraged to enter into early engagement with AW regarding this matter’. This should be stronger – to say ‘must’.
