The following representation is made by Delta Planning on behalf of Diana Richardson and Peter Jones.

We wish to support the allocation of 70-90 dwellings within the Village of Leek Wootton over the plan period. Small levels of development are justified to support the village infrastructure and provide homes for the future.

In considering the options for future housing, we note that many of the options for the village considered through the SHLAA were rejected. One site not considered was land within our client's ownership west of Home Farm, as indicated on the plan attached. We request that this location be considered amongst the options for village growth in the forthcoming village options studies. It is considered that some new housing could be delivered in this location in a way that would be in keeping with the character of the village, and would have no impact on the Conservation Area. The land has no significant environmental constraints and is close to facilities within the village. Access could be achieved via land within our clients control.
