Ymatebydd: Godwin Developments

Godwin Developments acknowledge and accept the approach taken in Draft Policy 42 which seeks to resist the loss of trees of value based on amenity, historic and ecological value except in certain circumstances.

With regards to Godwin Developments land interests at Aylesbury Road, the supporting Vision Document notes that there are two principal groupings of trees on site. The first comprises an assemblage of established parkland trees associated with Aylesbury House which are located along the eastern boundary of the site. Collectively they hold a noteworthy visual presence within views from the site interior and make a positive and important contribution to the site’s setting.

The second group comprises a number of early-mature and mature oak trees located along the hedgerows defining the north and western boundaries. Collectively, they
provide the boundaries with a strong degree of containment and maturity that contributes positively to the site’s character and setting.

The Masterplan supporting this site would seek to retain and enhance those features (where possible) to help screen the development from the existing development at the boundary whilst also preserving the setting of neighbouring Aylesbury House.
