Representation Summary:

There is a need for bungalows/houses in the area so people can downsize. I hae had friends who have had to move away because of the lack of suitable housing and the problem is worsening with an ageing population.

I support the proposed allocation of The Meadow House in the Village Options.

There is definitely a need for bungalows/houses for people to downsize to in this area. I have seen friends who have had
to move out of the area because of the lack of suitable housing and this problem is getting worse as the Rowington population ages.

If villages do not provide such accommodation, then they will lose their community spirit.

The Meadow House is my preferred option as it is close to facilities such as doctor's, post office, shops and railway station and, as it is so well screened, is an ideal spot.
