Respondent: Mr David Rawlins

Representation Summary:

This is an important statement for the Council. The growth challenges faced by the Council are acknowledged, specifically when attempting to align with the Oxford-Cambridge Arc. However, the Council’s statement will be negated should the proposed new settlement of Dennybrook (land west of Wyboston site 977) or the other large sites in the parish be taken forward. Other large sites being 997 (Cobholden), 455 (Manor Farm), Flints Field (930) or 931 (Top Homes). The parish of Staploe is entirely rural in nature, and it is considered that there are valued local landscapes that would be eroded by such urbanised development.
