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

Representation ID: 5188

Received: 03/09/2021

Respondent: Mr Ian Francis

Representation Summary:

I consider that option 2b with a new settlement at LITTLE BARFORD NOT WEST OF WYBOSTON is the best option. The East
West rail station south of St Neots will provide a truly sustainable form of development at Little Barford. Dennybrook (west of Wyboston) does not provide a suitable alternative – too far from the rail station, risk of coalescence, good agricultural land.
Alternatively in in addition to Little Barford development, Twinwoods at Thurleigh would be next choice as a significant part of the site is brownfield land.
