Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 6942

Received: 04/03/2019

Respondent: Mrs Barbara Hedley

Representation Summary:

This is already degraded land and could be put residential use. But as a wedge of land between the existing and new HS2 line, exceptional effort will be needed to ensure that good quality homes with adequate amenity, sound proofing and access to the main parts of the village are provided. Poor design could result in an isolated enclave. Good design could blend development with the existing fishing lakes, which should be retained and access improved as amenity space for everyone.
