Representation Summary:

Item 6f indicates an increase in the number of dwellings in Gilmorton by 25 homes. At present we are faced with growth of approximately 200 homes either from approved developments or those progressing through the planning process. The infrastructure within the Village is not suitable to accommodate this level of growth. The village and surrounding countryside road system is not suitable for the inevitable increase in traffic flow, exacerbated further by the lack of any public transport.
