Revised Development Strategy

Representation ID: 52873

Received: 29/07/2013

Respondent: Mr Rod Scott

Representation Summary:

70 - 90 houses is too vague and too many for a small village to support. The previous target of 100 has been 'reduced' but only to possibly 90. Large builders want to build estates and will find this attractive. Barford has been a village with a number of small developments and has recently had 60 + new houses in Bremridge Close. The village has recently opposed proposals to build 2 more new estates as these would have altered the character of this historic village. A definite limit of under 70 is required.
