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

Representation ID: 4261

Received: 30/08/2021

Respondent: Mrs Patricia Martin-Moran

Representation Summary:

I support option 2a. Other options have an adverse effect on the villages, which have already seen considerable development- some natural growth is OK. Development near town will encourage use of new stations and town centre- not the case for development in the villages. There is a case for development near the proposed station at Tempsford/St Neots South, but this won't have been decided when this plan is settled. Development in the villages is not greener and we don't need country parks, just access to our countryside. Development in the villages will just increase traffic and so be less green.
