New housing

  • Proposals for new housing developments have been resisted less than alternative energy, though there is a view that these should be detached or semi-detached houses or small sheltered accommodation.
  • Proposals for a large residential home have been strongly rejected.
  • Almost all residents support provision of faster broadband but the majority is not in favour of relaxing planning regulations to create more employment opportunities, such as small industrial units.
