Village Clusters Housing Allocations Plan - Alternative Sites & Focused Changes (Reg. 18)

Representation ID: 3506

Received: 30/01/2024

Respondent: Mrs Lesley McNulty

Representation Summary:

This cluster has been allocated 50 dwellings. +12 is a significant allocation and contrary to the original assurances that each cluster would get one site. This demonstrates that the VCHAP strategy is flawed.
The site will need part of an ancient hedgerow removed. Higher development costs necessary could impact on the ability to deliver the full quota of affordable housing.
Accessibility from our village is along narrow rural lanes and an increase in traffic movements is a genuine concern.
The Children's Service comment that the school can support additional 12+ houses. Are they aware of the 50 properties already committed?
