Draft Local Plan

Road and rail infrastructure in the A127 is already at (and often above) capacity. It is not clear why the A127 had greater potential for improvements than the A12. The consultation implied that the A127 had greater development potential due to it having a "different landscape character". There may be a different landscape character, however the local residents' value of the open space and farmland should not be considered any lower than the appreciation residents elsewhere in the Borough have for their landscape. The open, fenland landscape is valued extremely highly by local residents, and contributes to a rural feel to this area and local settlements.
