Site Proposals document

Representation ID: 15633

Received: 22/03/2018

Respondent: Mrs Judith Woods

Representation Summary:

Given that the sites allocated for housing in the existing plan (the Joint Core Strategy or JCS) should mean that at the current rates of house building there is already enough land allocated to last for the next 20years, I fail to see why such a large area would need to be considered for development. Also this HUGE proposal would swamp the surrounding villages - especially Colton - which is a quiet rural village with no services and completely urbanise this stretch of beautiful countryside.
