The Applicant has submitted a sketch image of the view from North Street illustrating the impact of enhanced landscaping at both the site entrance and along the landscaped entrance road.

Point 2

The Applicant has submitted a further minor amendment to the landscape plan, namely:

·         Amend x2 Cercis to Prunus avium

·         Amend x1 Catalpa to Tilia

·         Show areas outside of private ownership

·         Add additional native species within the recommended MBC Area 28 mix

Point 3

One of the original objectors has submitted a further letter reiterating their concerns regarding highway and pedestrian safety in that:

• Access is onto the busy A274
• Pedestrians, including children will have to cross the road to access public transport where there are no pedestrian crossings
• KCC and the Police have failed to enforce the 30 mph speed limit
• The bend north of the crossroads reduces visibility

The recommendation remains unchanged.
