Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 7702
Received: 12/03/2019
Respondent: Mr David Sheppard
100 houses on Site 25 plus 51 houses released by the 'wash over' is a 19% increase to the size of the settlement. This ignores the fact that any developer of Site 25 will attempt to build more than 100 houses on a 6 hectare site. These proposals cannot be justified as a proportionate extension and would cause further strain on the limited and non existent facilities in the village. Local, regional and national policies on the Green Belt would be breached. Hockley Heath is an important part of 'Urbs in Rure' and the proposals would ruin this historic countryside.
