Core Strategy Consultation on Strategy Directions 2008

Representation ID: 20494

Received: 27/01/2009

Respondent: The Newcombe Estates Co. Ltd.

Agent: Martin Robeson Planning Practice

Representation Summary:

Option 2 (para 5.86) is ruled out without any supporting justification. More allocations in certain towns and villages would better reflect population distribution.

There is also a broad assumption that all villages should grow organically. This can only be aspirational, since the requirement for growth in towns and villages is driven by housing demand and in the most sustainable location.

The Core Strategy should be suitable flexible and housing contingencies set out in the first place.
