Harborough Local Plan 2011-2031, Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 5962

Received: 01/11/2017

Respondent: Mrs N Stanley

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? Yes

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

The level of planned development in Market Harborough will intrinsically devalue it as a market town and an attractive place to live. As a resident the town is extremely difficult to get around and the proposed development will only increase congestion. It will no longer be compact in nature but a sprawling area of housing development. None of these areas have a core at the heart to promote community and 'getting to know your neighbour'. The town will become sterile and lose the ability to attract visitors that contribute to the economy.

Harborough Local Plan 2011-2031, Proposed Submission

Representation Summary:

It is unclear what consolidate means in this instance.

Infrastructure is insufficient to support the level of development already planned and until highways and other infrastructure issues are addressed there should be no more housing development around Market Harborough and business development should be strictly managed.
Market Harborough has already been allocated large numbers of housing developments through the SDA, off Kettering Road and at off Northampton Road. It is important to get infrastructure in place before such developments are completed.
