Revised Development Strategy
Representation ID: 53078
Received: 17/07/2013
Respondent: Barford, Sherbourne and Wasperton Joint Parish Council
We support the general concept of placing most development within or on edge of the urban area where it obviously benefits from nearby infrastructure. We generally support the concept to protect the Greenbelt but feel that the WDC simplistic interpretation considerably disadvantages the non-Greenbelt minority area of WDC's overall area. It would be better and easier if the whole of WDC was Greenbelt or at least accorded a status of "Area of Restraint" as an area of predominantly agricultural landscape. Sadly almost the whole of WDC's too high growth aspiration is being forced into the constrained area to the south.
