Core Strategy Consultation on Strategy Directions 2008
Representation ID: 19201
Received: 28/01/2009
Respondent: Northiam Parish Council
Rural Settlements Stratagy
The PC feels that Northiam is being expected to take more development than it can support and that this increased development will erode the rural characteristics of the village.
It is felt that it would be preferable to concentrate development on areas where there are jobs, transport and support services rather than increase village development and have to create support services. The type of affordable dwelling needed by small families and single people is more appropriate to town rather than village settings and this is probably where the people concerned would prefer to be.
