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

Representation ID: 5374

Received: 03/09/2021

Respondent: Ms Jackie Brand

Representation Summary:

If there is a new East-West Train station (EWTS), I favour option 2c because:-
Development will happen organically around EWTS, its better to plan for development.
To maximise opportunities of EWTS building houses nearby: train travel is good for environment, to ease road traffic congestion, to provide return on investment for EW train.
Two new settlements near the new railway will maximise above benefits and provide economies of scale in terms of planning public services to support these new communities.
It would keep development to a minimum in the parishes, to protect their character and less traffic in the parishes.
