Representation ID: 56585

Received: 25/11/2021

Respondent: Gamlingay Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Rural areas should only accommodate new development if it is local needs derived and has the support of the local community/parish council. It has to have a sustainable alternative to the private car- a reliable frequent public transport system (hourly) to a local transport hub/nearby market town/or a train station. Support expansion for existing businesses in the rural area, as long as proposals are in keeping with the areas character, and is of benefit to local residents.
