Respondent: Mrs Elizabeth Froude

Representation Summary:

I believe it is very important that sufficient car parking spaces are provided in any new developments (many homes have three cars. Providing less parking space does not prevent people using cars it just prevents emergency services vehicles from accessing homes due to cars parked inappropriately. However, we also believe it is important to provide sustainable forms of transport for new developments and we believe option 2b with a smaller new settlement at Little Barford would be able to provide this.

We believe there should be significant buffering eg. trees, embankments, and green space between new housing developments and existing settlements.
We would like to see a range of housing types such as bungalows, affordable homes etc. However, we believe homes should be no more than two storeys in rural areas.
