Yes

Draft Local Plan Review

Representation ID: 490

Received: 29/01/2017

Respondent: Ms Judith Tyrrell

Representation Summary:

I agree with policies for place but actions need to be more ambitious. Adding on to local towns and villages in a way that you hope wont be noticed is not radical enough and will mean services, education, health and the environment will creak under the strain. The LA needs to think about what provision there will be for new residents and outline it clearly for the next 10 years, rather than immediately jumping into developers pockets! Also - and to repeat myself - a sense of place wont be enhanced by building on park and recreational land or allotments!
