Respondent: Mr Richard Taylor

Representation Summary:

Build publicly accessible toilets ideally of highest standards to make areas accessible to all.

Consider air quality with district heating schemes; if using fossil fuels do not burn in living and working areas.

If sewage passes underneath site will there be a pumping station? What happens if pump fails? No-one should end up living/working with the smell of sewage.

Parking controls should be in place from construction stage.

Cycleway surfacing needs to be considered and safety in the ice and snow. Consider heating paths.

Industries requiring lots of large lorries are incompatible with safe cycling and walking.

Integrate art into the design using high quality materials.

Consult in an open and transparent manner.

There should be publicly accessible toilets, ideally of the highest standards eg. changing places toilets. This is essential for making areas accessible to all.

Take into account air quality with district heating schemes; it might be better if fossil fuels are to be burned, not to do it where people are living and working.

Will significant amounts of sewage still pass under the site to the sewage works site? Will there be a pumping station? What happens if the pumps fail? No-one should end up living or working in the smell of sewage.

Parking controls should be in-place throughout construction, and before first residents move in.

Cycleway surfacing needs to be considered. Deicing methods and ways of keeping cycle paths and pedestrian paths safe in the ice and snow should be used - heating the paths should be considered.

Industries requiring lots of large lorries are incompatible with safe cycling and walking.

Integrate art into the design (as opposed to raising taxes to fund art workshops etc.) , use high quality materials so far as possible.

Consult in an open and transparent manner.
