If you would like to comment about the Salford City Council Local Plan proposals about Barton Moss, you could use some of ideas here but best to write your own letter around it and best to put one idea per letter rather than all in one letter. Mention that it is for the Barton Moss site (if you want to comment on any of the other huge range of proposals then please do so) • Protection of biodiversity • The protection of the quality and nature of the landscape • The preservation of the amenity value and heritage interest • Maintaining a viable community and the vitality of the local community • Protection of natural resources including soil quality • Protection of the land for agricultural use • The loss of green land, habitats, landscape and wildlife and irreparable damage not deemed to be for “exceptional circumstances” required for release of Green Belt land. • The increase in traffic congestion and pollution especially noise, air and overall pollution • The plans do not encourage and enable the active agricultural use of the high grade agricultural land for food production • It does not recognise that an increase in recreation and leisure use is desirable. • It does not recognise that an expansion of public access to the Moss is desirable. • There is no indication that reasonable alternatives have been robustly tested. • The effect on air quality (already one of the poorest in the area because of the heavily congested major roads of M62, M60, A57and M602). • The transport infrastructure will increase congestion and decrease public transport choices • Indication is given regarding reducing risk of flooding to the River Irwell area but not regarding the impact of heavy industry on the Moss with regard to flooding. • The unsuitability of heavy or industrial buildings on peat bog and mossland • The GMPTE indicated that as sites such as Barton Moss are not well served by public transport at present or will be in the future, the development would add to already existing congestion. • There is no evidence that the new job opportunities will benefit the local population. • There is no indication about the stated preservation and restoration of the important “heritage and environmental assets” mentioned in the Strategy. • There is no indication of brownfield sites or sites available for regeneration or redevelopment as suitable alternatives.
