Object to SP2: Categorisation of Whitwell and extension of village boundary into flood / landscape sensitive area, not necessary to meet village growth
I do not agree with the categorisation of Whitwell as a category A village where development is permitted within the village boundary when part of this plan is extending the village boundary to make it bigger to enable development of greater than 10% of the current housing numbers. Whitwell could facilitate some infill growth. Extending the village boundary to enable growth in a particularly landscape and flood sensitive area is not sustainable growth for the village, nor is it necessary to meet the small scale growth that the village can support within existing boundaries.
