As with the approach to the urban fringe parishes and the main towns, we would raise concerns regarding the deliverability, and sustainability of additional ‘bolt-on’ developments in these locations. Such continuing urban sprawl is not considered to represent truly sustainable development, can often result in the creation of non-walkable neighbourhoods separated from services and facilities, places increased pressure on local infrastructure, and often comprise identikit housing which fail to adequately respect local character and create community cohesion.
