Cottenham - Designation of a neighbourhood area - October 2015

Representation ID: 165116

Received: 30/10/2015

Respondent: Mr Steve Dingley

Representation Summary:

I have looked at the neighbourhood plan for Cottenham (of which I am a resident) and I am wholly in agreement with the initiative that would enable residents like me to be involved in the future development of the village. I believe that any future Developments for Cottenham should be considered and weighed against the proposed neighbourhood plan, and take account of residents wishes and the vision for the village. I believe that ad-hoc development schemes without any reference to the neighbourhood plan could be disastrous for the village and harm the community spirit and goodwill that I have seen in the last 18 months since moving here.
