Change suggested by respondent:

GNLP SHOULD NOT BE ADOPTED
Proper regard should be given to the representations made in opposition to GNLP0520 being allocated for development, especially with regard to flooding issues, potential impact on historical heritage, the protection of valued landscape, the adequacy of footway links and proximity to ALL of the town’s facilities.
GNLP0520 should be removed from the plan.
Reconsider the housing numbers allocated for Hingham/Reconsult to allow for an alternative site to come forward and for representations to be made.
Consideration MUST be given to if a site would provide a benefit alongside the proposed housing development, and if it would enable opportunity to achieve the aspirations of the community/town council for “future proofing” Hingham to be able to provide facilities to a growing community.
Allocations of any sites should be based on firm evidence that proposals made in order to mitigate, are actually feasible and achievable.
