Support

Harborough Local Plan 2011-2031, Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 6082

Received: 01/11/2017

Respondent: Mrs Elaine Derrick

Representation Summary:

Supported in principle provided the necessary infrastructure / services are provided at the time of construction and are fit for purpose. Existing local services e.g. roads, schools, Drs surgeries etc are at capacity and therefore would be unable to support the initial proposed number of dwellings/residents .

A planned community is not just another housing estate.

A major concern is that the consequential , increased traffic flow through Thurnby, Bushby and Scraptoft will make what are already congested roads even more dangerous and create more pollution.. These settlements have very poor transport links by bus, so a car is vital.
