Issue and Options 2023

Nothing chosen

Priors Marston Parish Council would like to make the following comments for consideration regarding the SWLP: * All new builds should have PV panels, or alternative environmentally friendly electric generation. * Only allow development where local services are available. No new developments should take place unless there is adequate infrastructure and amenities in place; including, but not exclusively, doctors and medical centers, dentist, schools, facilities for teenagers and young people. * All towns and parishes should have a properly defined and stated housing mix, to ensure that communities can be as inclusive as possible. ( A disproportionately large number of 4 to 5 bedroom properties effectively excludes young people from buying locally, and prohibits elderly people from downsizing and remaining in the local area.) * Adequate public transport to reduce traffic and pollution. * Communal power generation. * High speed, fiber optics throughout the area, and not just in larger conurbations. This would encourage and facilitate working from home. * Ensure that highways are properly maintained and properly funded. Where practicable cycle lanes should be provided. * Traffic calming and speed reduction measures should be introduced in all built up areas.
