Q-S5.2: Do you think new settlements should be part of the overall strategy?

Yes

Don't know

Q-S5.4: If not, what approach would you take?

Although Fenny Compton is not listed in table 2, several potential sites were submitted in the first call for sites which would double or triple the size of the village and completely change its character. The Compton Locks development will increase the size of the village by 30%, without any additional infrastructure. These additional sites would be completely unsustainable in terms of recreational facilities, roads, primary healthcare to name but a few.
