This proposal on the boundary of Wilstead is for a development of 2000 house which is twice that of Wilstead it self. It breaches the principle that there shall be a natural break between Wilstead and Wixams. It is effectively a town in it self and would submerge Wilstead which would cease to exist as a village.

A development of 2000 houses aprox. 3x that of Wilstead on the boarder of Wilstead would turn the village into a town. We have a new town close by, Wixams, already.

I tentatively support this site because the Wixams is due to have a new rail station. If that is the case it may be possible to make this site sustainable despite being on good agricultural land and not directly in the urban area.

The development, when considered with allocations sites 634 and 1513 , means very little rural space gap left between Elstow and Shortstown and no gap between Elstow and Wixams which is unacceptable coalescence in the rural setting and landscape of these eastern clay vale villages and contradicts landscape assessment development guidelines. The land incorporates some attractive and biodiverse green lane footpaths and farmland birds such as yellowhammer (red list protected species) which even if net gain was introduced we would lose as these birds need hedgerows and open farmland. Houses and domestic animals would impact negatively on species found here.

There needs to be a distinct gap between Wilstead village and Wixams (to prevent "coalescence") so that their historically separate identities are preserved. The potential size of any development on this site would threaten the very heritage of Wilstead.

This representation is submitted by Pegasus Group on behalf of L&Q Estates who is promoting land to the East of Wixams to support the delivery of Growth Strategy Option 2a. The enclosed vision document for Wixams East (Site ID 3233) provides more detail on how this site fits within the growth strategy.

Wixams East, whilst located within the Parish of Wilshamstead, is more spatially related to Wixams in terms of access to services and facilities. It is therefore promoted as an extension to Wixams and would sit within the transport corridor - rail based growth villages in the growth strategy.
