Representation Summary:

Great start, but what is really needed is a masterplan for the village!
This is really needed due to the closure of the hospital and lack of certainty or pre-planning to what happens when it closes. Can we have a delivery strategy and masterplan.

Really useful guide as to how the development could be designed to be in keeping with the character of the village and make the most of my views out to the wider landscape.

However, it is clear that there is plenty of potential for the village to grow and expand, however, what is needed is a comprehensive masterplan for the village. The infrastructure that is needed is a new school (primary). This design guide doesn't set out were this level of growth could happen.

Another problem the village experiences is in the long term stewardship of open spaces. Mixture of ownership is not always helpful.
