Sir – After reading in this paper the previous correspondence about Ruskin College’s plan to build on highly-valued green spaces, I feel strongly that Ruskin is being opportunist in attempting to link its own plans with the city council’s plan to use land zoned for the provision of much-needed housing.
To build on historic meadows within the conservation area, as Ruskin wants to do, is entirely inappropriate.
The fear must be that this opportunistic move by the college will risk derailing the council’s well-advanced project, and I hope that the council will decouple the Ruskin plans without delay.
