Revised Development Strategy
Representation ID: 54272
Received: 29/07/2013
Respondent: Mr. Richard Barkey
There is no employment of any significance in Barford, and there are limited services, so a significant increase in housing of this level would lead to increased congestion on the main roads and the roundabout at J15 of the M40. It is already bad enough that at peak times we have to wait 5 minutes or longer for a gap in traffic to get out of Fulbrook Lane in Sherbourne onto the A429.
We also feel that this number of additional houses is disporportionate and would lead to a significant negative impact on the character of Barford and its ecology.
