Local Plan 2040 Draft Plan - Strategy options and draft policies consultation

Representation ID: 3503

Received: 26/07/2021

Respondent: Mr Martin Warwicker

Representation Summary:

My preferred option is Option 2 c. Urban and rail-based growth. This would take advantage of East West Rail developments and allow for the utilization of the new and re-vamped stations. Greater rail use will reduce environmental impact of road use. Perhaps any logistics operations bringing new jobs to this area could use rail freight services instead of HGVs?

I am against any future development Eastwards as this area has conservation/leisure facilities that would be harmed. Additionally, there are large tracts of rural land and to use this would be to increase coalesce of villages and hamlets and more substantial developed areas in adjacent counties.
