I have viewed the recent village housing options for Burton Green and I am pleased to see the council taking a common sense approach to the future development of the village. I have received correspondence from other members of the village asking for our opposition to these plans which I will not be doing. Re development of existing land seems to me to be by far the most appropriate option for further development. I am very pleased that the plans have taken into account the rural aspect of the village and are minimising the encroachment onto working agricultural land and utilising an existing site. I am also pleased that the preferred plan will have the least significant impact onto the existing residents of the village and the outward aspects of their properties. I do have some concerns that 75 houses for such a small village does seem excessive and would need justification considering there is not even a convenience store within walking distance.
