Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 1502

Received: 07/02/2019

Respondent: Wisborough Green Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Wisborough Green Parish Council is concerned that the plan seems to turn the focus of development in Service Villages to be driven by opportunities. Villages do need to adapt and grow but to be successful this has to be sustainable - both in context of infrastructure as well as small scale in context to the community size. There seems to be no demonstration of why an opportunistic approach will better serve the service village communities than the more even distribution approach in the current plan.
