Respondent: Mr Graham Moore
The population of Harleston has increased by 1.6% over the last 17 years and with an ageing population of 34% over 60 does not appear to be a town in need of a large amount of housing. The CLA has objected to the use of a scoring system that promotes growth in market towns at the expense of surrounding villages. Your plan aims to provide "local Housing" and "to grow a vibrant healthy community" but fails to recognise that the housing proposed will be for people from outside Harleston with outside jobs and needing to drive to work.
