Village Housing Options and Settlement Boundaries

Representation ID: 60681

Received: 06/01/2014

Respondent: Sheila Light

Representation Summary:

Urgent need for smaller housing, not only for young people but also to allow older people to remain within their communities. This would have the advantage that, in addition to remaining with friends and neighbours, they could be cared for within the community, and not become a burden on the state!

This appears to be an ideal plot - good local facilities and not in anyones sight lines so would not cause offence to neighbours; additionally it has been previously developed as a site, and is known not to have a flooding problem.

I write to fully support the proposal to build on this site. There is an urgent need for smaller housing, not only for young people but also to allow older people, who have outgrown their larger properties, to remain within their communities. This would have the advantage that, in addition to remaining with friends and neighbours, they could be cared for within the community, and not become a burden on the state!

This appears to be an ideal plot - local facilities are good, it is not in anyones sight lines, and so would not cause offence to neighbours; additionally it has been previously developed as a site, and is known not to have a flooding problem.

I do hope very much that this development goes ahead, as it will provide much needed amenities for the area.
