Representation ID: 20093

Received: 25/02/2020

Respondent: Ms S Dunlop

Representation Summary:

While I recognise the need for more housing & have no objection on that principal I do feel that the right infrastructure should be put in place to accommodate this. Adequate power & water supply with school(s), doctors, shopping, care & green space. Taking wildlife into account - present & future.
An additional concern is flooding - Thorpe Marriott has a beck which feeds a pond - please can future works include taking the effect of the new infrastructure into account in respect of this with a survey to investigate this - perhaps a green corridor of park/wood along Marriotts Way side of the new housing to reflect the current layout of green space.
Lastly affordable housing - so often this is reduced when the build commences - we need to ensure the right mix of accommodation for all our residents in the area.
