Respondent: Shortstown Parish Council

Shortstown Parish Council has reviewed your draft local plan 2040 and after careful con-
sideration have the following comments. In the proposed 2040 Local Plan there are several
options proposing further development within Shortstown parish but due to the high levels
of development that Shortstown has already seen further housing beyond what has already
been built would risk Shortstowns rural character, further diffuse its small and fragile
centre, and risk the future of the historic airship sheds and Cardington airfield.
We support the following policies found within it.
Policy HOU18 development of the former DVSA site. This policy would makes
good use of a brownfield site currently surrounded by houses and we would welcome the
developer to open consultation with us at the earliest opportunity. The site is of limited
size and so while it would create additional traffic load compared to some other proposed
sites it would be of a more limited and manageable amount.
