Representation Summary:

Policy DS2 (S) Spatial Strategy -
By concentrating on accessible locations, the spatial strategy aims to minimise the need to travel by car and therefore reduce the emission of carbon dioxide in line with the objectives of the plan. The growth locations proposed are not close to this parish:
There is a section of the policy dealing with the Rural Area:
“xii. The completion of strategic Key Service Centre and more limited Rural Service Centre residential development identified in Local
Plan 2030 on sites which are allocated in neighbourhood plans and the completion of Local Plan 2030 Policy 27 Land north of
School Lane, Roxton:
xiii. Safeguarding the intrinsic character of the countryside and the environment and biodiversity within it through the careful
management of development to meet local needs while supporting the rural economy.”
This seems entirely reasonable.
