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

Representation ID: 5652

Received: 07/09/2021

Respondent: Mr Phillip Yockney

Representation Summary:

If a new settlement is required then Little Barford should be the preferred option as it is close to the East West rail station. Dennybrook should be discounted because there is a risk of coalescence with St Neots, the local roads are unsuitable, the traffic modelling was inadequate, it would engulf existing hamlets and fundamentally change the rural nature of the parish, it would use high quality agricultural land and it is too far from the proposed E-W rail station to be sustainable. Our second choice option would be at Twinwoods as there is a significant proportion of brownfield land. See above for more detail.
