Respondent: Leek Wootton & Guy's Cliffe Parish Council
Much of the supporting infrastructure is at capacity:
-An increase in 85 dwellings will necessitate extension of the school in order to accommodate 25 - 30 additional pupils across years 1 - 7. This will require a minim three extra classrooms plus an extension of the school hall and ancillary facilities.
-The sewage system is unable to handle any new major development. Sewage is currently pumped from certain areas of the village to the treatment works east of the A46 and the hamlet expansion required the construction of a holding 'sump' in order to handle flows. Much of this infrastructure will require updating.
-The Parish Plan identified the need for improved and more comprehensive sports and recreation facilities for the community. In addition to rehabilitation and access to the Woodcote woodland, expansion of the community should also include new and broader provision in this respect.
