Revised Development Strategy
Representation ID: 53900
Received: 28/07/2013
Respondent: Mrs Alex Farr
The level of growth for Barford has been proposed at 70-90 new houses over the life of the new Local Plan. That level is still too high, especially in the light of the recent development of 60 houses (nearly a 10% increase) built on the site released by the by-pass. This level of development cannot be integrated successfully into our rural village without changing its character for the worse. Neither can the infrastructure of the village cope. The sewers are already groaning, the school cannot be expanded further, and the traffic situation is already dangerous at peak times.
