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

Representation ID: 5156

Received: 03/09/2021

Respondent: Mr Ian Francis

Representation Summary:

I dont believe the consultation has been conducted openly and fairly. The 2020 issues and options consultation classed our parish as "urban growth". Please look at a map/satellite imagery. The parish is very rural.
The figures I have seen indicate a poor feedback rate from the public, but proportionally high from our parish indicating there are strong view in the area that are not being considered.
OxcamArc is focused on rail based growth and yet 3 of 4 favoured development rely on site977, favouring a road transport reliant settlement. distances are not practical by foot or bicycle to transport links.
