Village Housing Options and Settlement Boundaries

Representation ID: 61447

Received: 24/01/2014

Respondent: mr colin woodward

Representation Summary:

-Anything other than a small amount of ribbon development will change the character of Burton Green and would go against the principle of the green belt that has protected the village and its atmosphere for many years.

-The village is also blighted enough with the threat of Hs2 and some of the proposed developments appear quite close to the proposed route this does not seem sensible to undertake further construction in this affected zone.

Further to discussion between Dr Peter Stanworth and my mother Betty Woodward, where he said the late representations could be made from this area, I wish to object to the fill in estate type proposals. Anything other than a small amount of ribbon development will change the character of Burton Green and would go against the principle of the green belt that has protected the village and its atmosphere for many years.
The village is also blighted enough with the threat of Hs2 and some of the proposed developments appear quite close to the proposed route this does not seem sensible to undertake further construction in this affected zone.
