Local Plan 2040 Draft Plan - Strategy options and draft policies consultation
Representation ID: 4918
Received: 02/09/2021
Respondent: Mr Timothy Noble
Option 2a, 2b, & 2d - Object
Option 2c - Support
To be sustainable, future development needs to be located within the existing urban centres or within walking distance of rail links. Even if new development in the villages is supported by enhanced bus services these remain inconvenient and unpopular, and will not provide a realistic alternative to car ownership. Options 2 a,b, & d are a continuation of the existing policy of unsympathetic urban sprawl. This is destroying the character of our villages and surrounding environment, adding to congestion/pollution, and exacerbating the decline of the town centre.
