Revised Development Strategy
Representation ID: 63379
Received: 29/07/2013
Respondent: Councillor Philip Morris
Infrastructure:
The number of new homes proposed will place huge pressure on existing and proposed infrastructure.
The infrastructure improvements required will be unaffordable and make the proposed developments unsustainable.
The WDC Draft Infrastructure Plan published in May 2012 allows for only 8250 new homes over the 18 years to 2029.
The new local plan proposes another 50% on top of this.
Where are the infrastructure improvements which are required to make the development sustainable going to come from?
Barford, Sherbourne and Wasperton have carried out several housing needs surveys in recent years, none of which gets genuine need to anywhere near the levels proposed in the initial consultation.
