Revised Development Strategy

Representation ID: 54143

Received: 29/07/2013

Respondent: Mrs Jane Scott

Representation Summary:

70 - 90 houses is too many for our small village to support. Large builders want to build estates and will find this attractive. Barford has for years been a village with a choice of housing created by many small developments and has recently had 60 + new houses in Bremridge Close which have not been in character with the rest of the village. We have recently opposed proposals to build 2 more new estates as these would have further altered the character of this historic village. A definite limit of under 70 is required.
