Development and Site Allocations (DaSA) Local Plan - Options and Preferred Options

Westfield Parish Council have resolved to give its full support to the preferred sites for development in Westfield. In particular, the now defunct former care home at Moorhurst. This was suggested by the Parish Council as a suitable, now cleared site, for development as sheltered/warden assisted accommodation for our senior parishioners, who we feel are currently not well served.
The PC hope that if these developments succeed consideration can be given to a much needed "pelican" crossing adjacent to the school, and the adoption of the road along Chapel Lane which runs parallel to three of our five shops.
N.B. Some of the facts provided in 'Context' are inaccurate. The population is approx 2,600, and there are 5 shops.

Together with the land at Westfield Down and Goulds Drive the Parish Council see Moorhurst as a far better option than other suggested sites. Moreover development of the Moorhurst site would have little impact on our local school and therefore not contribute to the parking chaos at beginning and end of the school day. Development at the Moorhurst site would involve specific highways considerations regarding traffic calming measures, in addition to those already specified for The Down development. This would be a very welcome addition to address fast flowing traffic on the A28 through Westfield. Likewise, the strengthening/widening of footways would also be a most welcome improvement.

Para 15.115 refers to a 'football pitch'. This land is in fact a Parish Field and is under the control of the Charity Commission, albeit administered for them by Trustees. Same para refers to 'not incompatible, which seems to be a double negative.
