Respondent: Marlingford and Colton Parish Council
The "village clusters" concept is entirely unsustainable in that it relies upon accessing small pockets of geographically disparate infrastructure which will result in the need for increasing numbers of private car journeys and, given the decreasing availability of public transport, clean or otherwise, works directly contrary to the plan's stated environmental objectives.
Additionally, SNDC talk of a "minimum of 1, 200 houses" in these clusters. This should, at least, be corrected to 1, 200 MAXIMUM. If they actually do envisage 1,200 minimum then they are creating a sort of uncontrolled, open-ended 'free for all".
