Respondent: Mr Martin Foley
Any development in primary or secondary service villages must involve full consultation with the communities involved so that development compliments existing provision and does not increase strain on local services. As previously stated, the future population projections must be robust and take into account the types of individual/family that are predicted to move into the area. If it appears that a significant proportion of population growth will comprise single people, young professionals or smaller households, this would indicate that development in villages would be inappropriate and that the priority should be town centre/brownfield development.
