Mostly agree. Removal of harmful food stuffs can be achieved to an extent but 'Free Will and Choice' cannot be taken away from the public. It should read "support those with serious health risks that will benefit quality of life within the community". Resisting hot food takeaways is pointing the finger at overweight individuals and/or risks to healthy individuals. The same, if not greater risks are those from newsagents and off-licences selling cigarettes and alcohol, which are taxable entities and obviously don't impact on communities as much as fast food.
Agree with retention and protection of open spaces.

This will not work unless developers are bound by law to contribute certain specific services to the development process.
With regards to infrastructure it really depends on the size of development. But we agree that there must be greater emphasis on green, social, physical and digital infrastructure as part of a planned development, but again should be written into law that a development must have a minimum amount in accordance with its size.
Cross-boundary usage of facilities and services needs to be considered and financial support provided.

Support for LPR site allocation 10. The site of the former garage on the north side of Birmingham Road, already has planning permission for housing. The adjacent land currently used for caravan parking and part of the adjoining field could form an attractive small housing development near the centre of the village, local shops and transport. Its accessibility and proximity to shops and other facilities would make it an ideal location for more older persons' accommodation in the village.
