My overall impression is that this is a thorough detailed and well-thought out plan that has been produced by Pirton Parish Council, with involvement from the community. Development is restricted to 82-87 houses. Specific points are mentioned via the online representation form but generally I would back their calls for high attention to keeping the character and features of Pirton as outlined in their 82-page document "Character assessment". The Plan specifically highlights poor public transport in combination with roads unsafe for walking/cycling and high car ownership. It talks about poor broadband and mobile coverage (which is needed to encourage homeworking, and thus reduce the need for car-use). There is an emphasis on affordable local mixed-type housing, which should not be "Affordable" in Orwellian terms (80% of market value) but actually affordable and linked to local incomes. Otherwise I very much like those elements that protect the countryside such as retention of hedgerows during development and preservation of green passageways for wildlife. These elements need stronger protection, however, as they are weakened by caveats such as "if possible". If there is no choice but to remove hedgerows and trees they should be replaced.
