PO16: Green Belt

Representation ID: 47050

Received: 02/08/2012

Respondent: Barford Residents Association

Representation Summary:

Protecting the existing Green Belt from inappropriate development is supported, but it should be noted that the 'Green Belt' was created to protect the area around Coventry from over development and does not extend to the south of the District. In these areas development has generally not been permitted outside the village envelope which has conserved the countryside and maintained a healthy supply of good quality agricultural land

PO14: Transport

Representation ID: 47084

Received: 02/08/2012

Respondent: Barford Residents Association

Representation Summary:

Providing transport facilities for rural areas is supported - but to provide the level needed to enable residents to use public transport to get to work will be far too expensive. It will be better to ensure that either housing is provided near employment opportunities or employment is created in rural areas as a condition of development.

B. Category 1 and 2 Villages

Representation ID: 47349

Received: 02/08/2012

Respondent: Barford Residents Association

Representation Summary:

BRA is opposed to village envelopes being changed by WDC merely to enable new developments to occur. These village envelopes have evolved over a number of years to maintain open areas and views which are crucial in maintaining the character of each village. Any development should be initiated by the village and encouraged by the village - if imposed it will not be successful.
