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

Representation ID: 5190

Received: 03/09/2021

Respondent: Dr Rachel Horn

Representation Summary:

Out of the preferred options, I would support Option 2c and 2d with limited building in Wilstead. The reasons being:
- substantial development would alter the character of the village/community and would change its rural feel
- need some space between Wilstead village and other communities such as Wixams to prevent coalescence
- already had some building in Wilstead without extra local facilities such as schooling and doctors which is already oversubscribed, would be worse with significant building works.
- would increase traffic and pollution in the village, roads around school and shop etc already congested at peak times
