Revised Development Strategy

Representation ID: 53762

Received: 28/07/2013

Respondent: Emma Thompson

Representation Summary:

(NB representation is constrained by low word count number!)
1] Nomination of Kingswood as a Primary Service Village - I believe it has been over-scored and should actually be a Secondary Service Village.
2] The other listed Primary Villages have significantly more properties and therefore the impact is less e.g potential 39% increase in Kingswood compared to potential 15% in Cubbington
3] 39% more houses in Kingswood is nearly double WDC's own guidelines of 20% baseline growth for Primary Service Villages.
4] School is at capacity; main road is narrow and already congested, and environmental (namely flooding) concerns.
