Summary of Comments from Questionnaires with updates

Housing – AP
• No more housing because of increased traffic and impact on the environment
• Appropriate expansion, don’t wreck the village
• Affordable housing required
• Housing for elderly and young people to maintain the balance of the
population
• Housing that young couples/families of limited means can rent or buy
• Large developments not needed
• Starter homes to be built
• No more 4/5 bedroom houses
• Possibility of a self–build development

• Very strong support for small, sustainable developments introduced slowly
to enable the monitoring of the effect on the village. Houses that local families
can afford is key.

Environment
• Rural community, quiet roads. Beautiful countryside, open fields many
footpaths
• Has a proper country feel, love walking to school
• Surrounded by fields
• Improvements needed drainage and sewerage
• Street lights – more required
• Quietness is lovely
• Fence the children’s play area to stop dog fouling
• Good footpath network
• Sewers that work such that sewerage does not come up the toilet!
• Darkness at night
• Feeling of space and not living in packed conditions
• Linear housing so most people have views of trees/fields/open space
• Flooding is appalling, one area is addressed and another pipe leaks!

• Dog fouling is a serious problem that many residents are concerned about

Biodiversity – CS/PC
• A huge abundance of nature
• Start a wetland area (Pound Green area)
