Respondent: Mrs Ingrid Oliver
Strongly objects to the proposal that Barford should be designated as a 'Secondary Service Village' and be allocated 70 - 90 new houses. This is far too many for this rural village to absorb without changing the character of the village, and would substantially increase the size of the village. Local roads would become even more congested than they already are.
Recently had the development of substantial housing on Brembridge Close, along with offices next door, further development might be the 'thin end of the wedge' which sees the infill of all the green areas within the village.
