Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 7712

Received: 12/03/2019

Respondent: Lucy Shepherd

Representation Summary:

Whilst I sympathise with Hockley Heath residents, it is an area prime for development given its location and ease of access to the motorway and surrounding areas. It does not have a village character, centre, or historic buildings in the same way as other nearby villages such that development would not be as detrimental. Given ease of access and closeness to facilities such as golf clubs, health clubs and national trust properties, it is ideal for young families and a new school. It seems logical to add on to existing development here.
