Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8452

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Mrs Laura Dunne

Representation Summary:

There is nothing in the plan to say how this additional housing would be catered for by the existing village facilities. Would these new houses fall within the catchment area for Knowle Primary Academy which is already over-subscribed? If so then the developers should be expected to contribute to any development required by the school to accommodate additional pupils.
What additional infrastructure (parking, doctors etc) will be put in place to reflect the impact on the village of the additional housing so close to the village centre?
