We would recommend within each Policy Area a requirement is stipulated that the necessary sewerage infrastructure is in place to serve the area before development progresses.

There are a couple of issues that the STOCKVALE GROUP want to ensure are adequately addressed through the SCAAP. The first of those is the potential of having residents parking zones, this could have a negative effect on the existing Town Centre on and off street parking and consume spaces that are vital for visitors.

The STOCKVALE GROUP would wish to ensure that the Queensway policy area provides connectivity into the Seaway Car Park and the opportunity to see Seaway as a Gateway to the Seafront and the first visual connection to the Sea is not lost.

The pedestrian accessibility at the roundabout at Porters Grange does need to be improved, one such improvement would be, to close the stairs which take the pedestrian across the roundabout and to have pedestrian controlled crossings in order the pedestrian can cross the roads in safety.

OS4 - When I see the word "regeneration" applied in these circumstances, I think that means the council intends to demolish a lot of buildings close to me and build something which gives people better living conditions. Good for them.
I presume, however, that this will be rather noisy and dirty and disruptive and inconvenience anyone living in a house just over the road for however many years it takes. So what are your plans for dealing with that? I suppose what I really want to know is: are the tower blocks going to be demolished and replaced with some affordable low-level social housing? And are there any plans to match it on Coleman Street?

Yes, whether to demolish or refurbish the tower blocks of flats needs to be carefully considered. Keep them for another 30 years, if possible

Paragraph 4 of Policy PA6 relates to energy efficiency and relates to existing development. We note that versions of this paragraph appear under other policy areas and opportunity sites, so the following comments also apply.
Listed buildings, buildings in conservation areas and scheduled monuments are exempted from the need to comply with energy efficiency requirements of the Regulations where compliance would unacceptably alter their character and appearance. Special considerations under Part L are also given to locally listed buildings, buildings of architectural and historic interest within registered parks and gardens and the curtilages of scheduled monuments, and buildings of traditional construction with permeable fabric that both absorbs and readily allows the evaporation of moisture. Any policy encouraging energy efficiency should note that the application will be different in relation to these classes of buildings. Further information can be found in the Historic England advice Energy Efficiency and Historic Buildings -Application of Part L of the Building Regulations to historically and traditionally constructed buildings https://historicengland.org.uk/images-books/publications/energy-efficiency-historic-buildings-ptl/. This similarly applies to Policy PA1, PA2, PA3, PA4, PA5, PA7, CS1, PA8 and PA9.
