ICKFORD NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN CONSULTATION REPORT : VISION FOR ICKFORD 11

42 If any, they should be central to keep the village contained and not
allowing the overall village size to become larger – the houses should
be close to the amenities.
43 I understand that some villagers would like starter homes for
offspring to be able to stay in the village. These would be desirable
and probably should be located centrally by the playing field and close
to the school.
44 In the middle of the village to stop expansion.
45 At the end of Turnfields – there is already a road with a dead end as
though anticipating further development. Also, modern housing
would be in keeping with the 60’s development already there.

47 No houses.
48 Where the land is for sale down Worminghall Road that backs on to
Golders Close.
49 On the road between Little Ickford and the Shabbington Road. This
would have little impact on the scale of current housing in the village.
50 If this were to be undertaken, the Little Ickford side of the village is
far less populated.
51 Within the village boundary, not outside it.
52 Not in Ickford!! Roads/drainage/utilities can’t cope with more
housing and the associated construction heavy goods vehicles etc.
53 Area at back of Turnfields. Smaller plot accommodating a smaller
development of housing.
54 This is a difficult question as the infrastructure is not set up for any
kind of expansion.
55 The identified sites could be suitable but not the number of
properties that have been proposed. There must be consideration for
safe access, and drainage (which is already a problem in this area).
56 The projected development at the end of Turnfields would enclose the
recreation ground making it more of a central part of the village. The
proposed development (Cala Homes) would not impinge on the
village but it would create far too much development if that and the
Turnfields development went ahead. The projected one on Pound
Field is too far outside the village as it stands at the moment.
57 I think any site in the village will have some objections, I think the site
by the playing fields is the most preferable.
58 A couple of houses that are near to the relatively newer developments
or interspersed amongst the current housing if appropriate.
Conservation areas and the paths and fields between them should be
preserved and inappropriate developments like the huge house at
Neil’s Cottage, Little Ickford, should be avoided in future.
59 The proposed Turnfields development as it is within the village
envelope, and not at the edges where there could be a danger that the
village ‘sprawls’ out of control.
60 Some kind of infill around the other side of the playing field is the
only viable option I believe. I would not be in favour of infilling right
up to the Worminghall/Shabbington Road as that is simply too large a
