Barford is a well established and significantly enlarged settlement. It is reasonably sustainable save that the public transport is well inadequate and there is no medical facility. We have a very tight village envelope - advised/imposed not so very long ago by WDC! - We have an established and documented need for a modest number of new homes which we are happy to take. The inflated number with 40% affordable is a step too far and will at the very least stress our excellent school. Growth is not required to provide extra sustainability and indeed would not do so.
