Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 18620

Received: 27/04/2010

Respondent: Mrs Pauline Young

Representation Summary:

How was the 9 land allocation areas defined? What criterion has been applied to these 9 areas and by whom? The housing needs and local community infrastructure can be achieved in smaller sites - and there are plenty of them available across the district. Are larger sites preferred because the bigger companies 'promise' to provide some community monies to subsidise the financial deficiencies in local council, highways, health and social care etc.? Hence reason for the locations. What is really in the best interests of the district? Are we all working towards the same goal but with different values?
