Stretton Parish Council voted on the Local plan PSV 2021 at the monthly meeting on 4th October, unanimously rejecting its proposals based on;
- Inappropriate use of a significant proportion of Green Belt in Stretton and not utilising available Brownfield sites first
- Loss of identity for such an historic village as Stretton
- Unacceptably high density of housing proposed
- Inadequate infrastructure to support an over-ambitious and unnecessary growth plan
We have now formulated our full response and this can be found via the link under 'Local Plan 2021' page
