Revised Development Strategy
Representation ID: 53497
Received: 25/07/2013
Respondent: Leek Wootton & Guy's Cliffe Parish Council
The Parish Council is concerned over the absence of detailed information regarding the phasing of the proposed 6,622 new dwellings proposed by the RDS and fear that much of this development could be concentrated in the first 5-year period.
Construction of circa 80 new dwellings as a single development would represent a 21% increase in the village housing stock and this would exert considerable pressure upon the local infrastructure, especially Leek Wootton School which is already at capacity.
An estimated increase of 28 pupils would require the construction of 3 additional classrooms, plus significant extension to related facilities.
