The Council’s Green Space Strategy from 2004 states “Green spaces play a big part because they help make our city a more attractive place for people who live and work here but also a great place for visitors and tourists.” At the same time traffic volumes from the TADU website show that rather than increasing, actual volumes since 2008 are generally on a downward trend. Such a large junction would also be counter to the Council’s own policy EN3.1 (Landscaping and Trees) as identified in the Screening and Scoping report for the Blue House proposal which says “Development which would demonstrably harm the following areas of exceptional landscape value [which includes the Town Moor] will not be allowed” (our underlining).
