(b) For Services and Community Development - we Support the proposals but would like to see a strengthening of the protection of business premises against conversion to residential. Without this the village designation as a 'service centre is at risk.

(C) For the Historic Environment - we Support the proposal to protect the locally distinctive character of historic buildings and settings and to this end would wish to see assessments for the historic settlements at Salehurst and Northbridge Street to see if they should be included in the Conservation Area schedule.
