Village Housing Options and Settlement Boundaries

Representation ID: 61245

Received: 20/01/2014

Respondent: Mrs Suzanne Stannard

Representation Summary:

Little evidence is shown for the changing demographic compositionof specific villages. Showing that Cubbington's composition has declined, for example, does not necessarily mean that is because young families have moved out of area. In fact, arguably Cubbington has a large proportion of housing suitable for smaller families, particularly in the Broadway/Stonehouse close areas. Cubbington school is consistently over-subscribed by local families. By not allowing adequate consulation time or indeed publishing the evidence of problems of specific demographic change within certain villages it is very difficult to agree with the conclusions made.
