Whixley Parish Council (WPC) have the following comments on the policies included in the New Settlement (Maltkiln) DPD document. These are policies which we consider need to be modified to either protect our residents from the most significant effects of the new settlement or allow our residents to benefit more from the new facilities which the settlement should deliver.

We have also had input to the joint response made by the group of local parish councils. The comments we make here within draw out the issues which we feel are the most significant for our Parish.

Notwithstanding these comments WPC continue to be opposed to the principle of the new settlement. This is the wrong place for development of this scale and this number of houses are not needed.
