Village Housing Options and Settlement Boundaries
Representation ID: 60805
Received: 08/01/2014
Respondent: Mr and Mrs G Bull
Agent: Stansgate Planning
Representation Summary:
-Kingswood is rightly categorised as a sustainable settlement due to its range of local services and facilities and also its opportunities of travel by public transport.
-Kingswood suffers from specific housing problems, with an unusually high proportion of owner occupied properties and of large detached dwellings. There is an acknowledged shortage of bungalows, which would meet the needs of much of the aging population who want to downsize and of affordable housing and of small family homes.
-These problems will only be met through the allocation of Green Belt land for development and more particularly to meet local needs.
