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

Representation ID: 4201

Received: 30/08/2021

Respondent: Mrs Gail Browning

Representation Summary:

With reference to Option 2B if a new settlement is required then Little Barford should be the preferred location as it is close to the East West rail station. Dennybrook (977) should be discounted because there is a risk of coalescence with St Neots, local roads are unsuitable, the traffic modelling was inadequate, it would engulf existing hamlets and fundamentally change the rural nature of the parish, it would use high quality agricultural land and it is too far from the proposed E-W rail station to be sustainable.
Browns sites such as Twinwoods or Colworth would be better alternative sites.
