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

Representation ID: 8237

Received: 03/09/2021

Respondent: Mr Daniel Francis

Representation Summary:

Staploe Parish Council are very concerned that this call for sites initially showed Dennybrook (site 977) as a much smaller site beyond the boundaries of Honeydon. We were only informed in May 2021 (an astonishing 8 months after the call for sites closed) that the site boundary had expanded by approximately 25% to engulf the whole of the hamlet of Honeydon . The new site showed many existing homes surrounded on all sides by housing estates. Therefore, we believe that the call for sites was not conducted in an open and transparent manner. Residents only had one month to gather their thoughts about this enormous new development of up to 10,800 homes which engulfed their properties before the draft consultation opened. We do not believe this is a fair consultation for them.
