3.0 Emerging Preferred Options – 2a, 2b, 2c and 2d

It is not clear whether the Parish of Staploe falls within eastern parishes and is therefore within preferred strategy 2d, or the northern parishes which are not part of any of the preferred strategy options. As it not specifically mentioned our client assumes it is not part of this strategy.

We would therefore highlight that some development is advisable in this location in order to prevent the existing villages stagnating and to maintain the vitality and viability of existing services. Local needs housing could be considered in villages such as Duloe which is situated adjacent to the A1 and is due north of Wyboston which has been identified as a potential location for growth.

While this is small village it has the potential to offer sustainable rural growth, either connected with the neighbouring town of St Neots or with the possible new settlement west of Wyboston.
