Revised Development Strategy
Representation ID: 54175
Received: 29/07/2013
Respondent: Barford Residents Association
70 - 90 houses are too many for our small village to accept and expect the village to maintain its individual historic character. Barford has a choice of housing created by many small developments and has recently had 60 + new houses which have not been in character with the rest of the village. These are being assimilated - but time is required. We have recently opposed proposals to build 2 more new estates as these would have further altered the village and reduced its tourist appeal. A definite limit of no more than 70 is required.
