Revised Development Strategy

Representation ID: 52843

Received: 12/07/2013

Respondent: Mrs Hilary Maynard

Representation Summary:

This village is already big enough. I don't understand why small villages are not required to have more houses. Many of them are dead villages used as weekend retreats and holiday lets. If each small village had to have say 20 houses it would revitalise them and lessen the load on already large and medium villages.
Barford school is already oversubscribed and we have no doctors.
The drainage system is Victorian and will struggle to cope if we have anothe 90 houses. We only need a few starter homes for locals.
