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

Representation ID: 3960

Received: 29/08/2021

Respondent: Mr Mark Potts

Representation Summary:

The consultation on the draft plan is misleading. It is not sufficiently clear that alternative options
can be proposed other than the 4 presented. It is not made clear that the new settlement at
Dennybrook would be the first phase of a development of 10,800 homes. The full impacts of
Dennybrook and Little Barford as new settlements should be fed into the assessment of the options
independently. Please make the decision re choice of sites in a full council meeting (not executive)
and permit Councillor Moon to vote in place of Tom Wootton as the latter is conflicted re
Dennybrook
