Respondent: Barford, Sherbourne and Wasperton Joint Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Where this policy states *require new large scale housing development to provide levels of open space and provisions for sport to meet community needs and create inclusive communities. It will be important to maximise linkages and access to the wider countryside for recreational purposes for all.... we believe that in many situations esp in smaller developments it is more appropriate to require commuted sums for similar provision elsewhere within that community or parish rather than providing small and dislocated schemes that segregate rather than build community.
