On behalf of Alice and Anthony Constable Maxwell, owners of land off Theddingworth Road, Husband Bosworth, where a development of up to 24 new homes, new access and public open space is proposed. Planning and Design Practice Ltd wish to comment as follows:

Policy H1- UNSOUND- POSITIVELY PREPARED comment:

Whilst fully supportive of the identification of Husbands Bosworth as a "natural centre" and the "approach to development" as set out by table D21, we believe that a target number of dwellings should be identified for Husbands Bosworth, as is the case for the similarly ranked settlements of Billesdon, Great Glen and Houghton on the Hill.
This would ensure consistency with the "approach to development" at table D21and also policy GD2, in the sense that both potentially allow for development that is physically and visually connected to an existing rural centre settlement.
It would also ensure a consistent approach to similarly ranked settlements, and help the Plan to be more 'positively prepared.'
To support our assertion that there is development land available at Husbands Bosworth we attach a draft planning application including supporting technical documents, for a development of 24 houses, new access and open space at land off Theddingworth Road.
