Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035
Representation ID: 175
Received: 04/02/2019
Respondent: Mr Tom Fountain
Inconsistent decision making on allocation of housing numbers in Hunston:
Inconsistencies between previous plan and Councils own consultation exercise of Aug 17.
Unacceptable lack of consultation with Parish Council in deriving new numbers.
Inconsistent decision making on housing numbers in Hunston:
1. Local Plan to 2029 stated increase of 25 dwellings recognising the constraints of the village and sustainability issues.
2. Initial consultation under Local Plan 2035 in Aug 17 under Q14 showed a majority of respondents were in favour of less than 50 houses in Hunston
3. Draft quota then became 176 only on the basis of 2 landowners making land available and ignored previous reasons for constraint.
4. Now the development number is 200
Hunston Parish Council inadequately consulted with during the consultation process up to Nov 2018 (and only after discussions and proposals between Council and landowners. Documents not shared with Parish Council. Inadequate right to respond)
