Representation ID: 7934

Received: 20/09/2021

Respondent: Pavenham Parish council

Representation Summary:

The Parish Council fully supports the EEH Strategy as summarised in paragraph 3.22 of the Consultation and on that basis, it similarly supports the four Principles as set out in paragraph 3.23 with particular emphasis given to Principle 3, namely “opportunities for active travel and green infrastructure”.
The Parish Council agrees that the policies in the 2030 Plan are robust and do not require updating – subject to practical delivery when considering the housing growth site.
Housing development on small sites
In the context of this issue, the Parish Council agrees with the Borough Council’s conclusions as to the need for a specific policy but would also add that as well allocating two small sites for residential development within the Parish, its Neighbourhood Plan proposes a policy to permit windfall development – subject to a number of local policy conditions.
