Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 1286

Received: 06/02/2019

Respondent: Mr Stephen Baker

Representation Summary:

It is recognised that more homes are needed but for Hunston, the number of homes proposed is far to great.

Full text:

An additional 200 homes in Hunston would be a very significant increase in the size of the village. The current housing need is around 20 homes so that would lead to approximately 180 homes being filled by those from outside the village. This in turn will put pressure on infrastructure and will inevitably lead to a significant increase in traffic as most people would be joining the existing heavy congestion at peak times to get to work/school etc. It appears that just because land may be available CDC has decided to take up that availability with no real thought about the impact. There is much reference to sustainability but no evidence that this is being considered.
