Representation Summary:

Policy DS2(S) ix. Expansion of Shortstown to the west. In keeping with our
objection to Policy HOU17 we object to expansion of Shortstown to the west. Shortstown
has seen substantial additional housing but no improvement of transport links and the
impact of large sites currently in build has not been reviewed. A pause is required in order for traffic, services, and related items to be stabilised and the as yet unknown new higher level. We can always proceed with additional developments later but once approved they cannot easily be cancelled after the damage they cause has been revealed.
