Harborough Local Plan 2011-2031, Proposed Submission
Representation ID: 6667

Respondent: Mr William Richmond
For many years, there has been pressure to extend development of Leicester and Oadby to encompass the rural villages of Stoughton, Thurnby and Bushby which have a completely different character. In the past, Harborough District Council policy has been to designate certain areas as Green Wedge to prevent coalescence with the urban neighbours and I strongly support of the continuation of this policy in the new Plan.
