Village Housing Options and Settlement Boundaries
Representation ID: 61754
Received: 15/01/2014
Respondent: Leek Wootton & Guy's Cliffe Parish Council
With exception of Site 5, oppose boundary changes on the following grounds:
-It is assumed that the proposed insetting is designed to facilitate the future planning application process and to increase scope for windfall development.
-The increase in the area (Area 1-4) within the proposed new boundary is negligible and includes two landlocked parcels.
-All open areas within the existing village envelope are worthy of protection on environmental/aesthetic/wildlife grounds.
-Given the extent of the greenfield development, further windfall increases are considered unsustainable since they could be phased upon replacement and greater consolidation of existing properties, impacting the village character.
