Representation Summary:

Re Objective 2 - this is the wrong way round. Local services/facilities should be supporting the village clusters and their inhabitants.
No mention of retrofitting older properties to bring them up to date with modern standards of insulation etc.
Also it is obvious that cost of newly housing is oo high for local people unless they have already got a step on ‘housing ladder’. If we want to sustain our local communities, a large proportion of new build should be Affordable Housing, and not a developers’ charter. If too much large housing is built we will have precious little countryside left. Villages will not thrive if suitable housing is not provided.
Agree with others that quantity of development is unnecessarily high and distribution of development is unsustainable.
