FEEDBACK FROM MARCH 2013
SETTLEMENT BOUNDARY
• don’t develop land adjoining Brook House / Brookmill Close as floods
• avoid village being annexed to the nearby town
• be ever mindful of the AONB, keep "green rural views" , protect green spaces
• protect expansion of school facilities,
• undesirable that the village should become ‘fatter,
• existing settlement boundary should not be changed
• develop land in Mill Lane, develop next to the village hall.
• no development along Old Church Road
• take into account of the narrow, and/or steep, road access
• some very limited building and would be welcome
• loosen the settlement boundaries to include hamlets
• protect orchards, Colwall Green and other areas of high wildlife value
• no development to the south west of the railway line
• infill behind the Winnings, village hall and between Colwall Green and railway.
• develop ‘hamlets’ eg Cummins, Flapgate, Chance’s Pitch and Petty France.
FEEDBACK FROM MARCH 2013
