Respondent: Mountnessing Parish Council
Whilst the Parish Council accepts there is a need for some new housing in the Mountnessing area we would want to ensure that any developments approved are sustainable and that they are designed to fit in and enhance the existing built areas with care taken to reduce the impact on existing residents.
We would like to maintain our main street scene to retain the semi rural feel that the village has and new homes should be designed to fit in rather than stand out in styles sympathetic to the area.
Mountnessing Parish Council has considered the draft LDP and also taken note of our residents responses made at the recent public presentation by BBC officers in respect of the draft plan.
Whilst the Parish Council accepts there is a need for some new housing in the area we would want to ensure that any developments approved are sustainable and that they are designed to fit in and enhance the existing built areas with care taken to reduce the impact on existing residents. We would like to maintain our main street scene to retain the semi rural feel that the village has and new homes should be designed to fit in rather than stand out in styles sympathetic to the area. Access to potential new developments are clearly a concern to some residents and the Parish Council will want to see that residents views on this are taken into account in any applications made.
We would need assurance that water supplies and sewerage systems would be sufficient to handle additional demand and that the doctors and schools can cope with the extra service users likely to arise. There will certainly be a huge demand for power, water and sewerage disposal if the Hotel site proceeds.
We see a need for more one bedroom properties to be included in any affordable dwelling units that might be built within any new development as the reduction in benefits for unused bedrooms has created a need for smaller properties for affected people to downsize to. The Parish Council would also want to see local people given a priority in the allocation of any such dwellings that become available.

Support subject to amendments
Proposed amendment(s): We welcome the proposed policy, but recommend that additional text is added which notes that buildings which exceed the typical heights in the immediate area may be acceptable where they respond positively to the site and setting. That will ensure that the policy as it stands is not interpreted too narrowly and in a way which would prevent development coming forward which is in fact of a high standard.

Respondent: Historic England
We welcome the references to new development being sympathetic to its context and local distinctiveness. The NPPF makes links to the historic environment and new design, and it would be suitable to refer more explicitly to this relationship in the policy, and the supporting text. For instance, the NPPF states that planning policies should ensure that new developments respond to local character and history (para 58), and 'should address the connections between people and places and the integration of new development into the natural, built and historic environment' (para 61).
