Draft Plan consultation responses

Garden Village Status

Eligibility criteria

12. To be considered for government support under this section of the prospectus, proposals for a new garden village must meet the following criteria:

Size

13. For the purposes of this prospectus, we are defining garden villages, to include proposals that are not eligible under our existing offer, which is restricted to new garden towns and cities of over 10,000 homes. Therefore, to be eligible under this section of the prospectus, proposals must be for a new settlement of 1,500 - 10,000 homes.

Free-standing settlement

14. The garden village must be a new discrete settlement, and not an extension of an existing town or village. This does not exclude proposals where there are already a few existing homes.

Local leadership and community support

17. New garden villages should have the backing of the local authorities in which they are situated. We expect expressions of interest to demonstrate a strong local commitment to delivery. They should also set how the local community is being, or will be, engaged at an early stage, and strategies for community involvement to help ensure local support.

18. For those new settlements on the larger scale, it will be desirable for the Local Enterprise Partnership to be supportive of the proposal. This is to ensure that the potential economic benefits have been considered.

21. It is important that new garden villages are built as a response to meeting housing needs locally. We expect expressions of interest to demonstrate how the new settlement is part of a wider strategy to secure the delivery of new homes to meet assessed need.

Wisloe Planning Objections and Surveys 23:01:2020

Should be in now, they stopped accepting them midnight of the 22nd, acknowledgement emails from the SDC have been slow the one I put in on the 15th got acknowledged on the 22nd? So It's going to be a bit of a guessing game as to whether you got it in in time or at all! Any where else acknowledges receipt of an email within minutes, if not seconds, but this is SDC.

Here are a number of reports that have been issued by the Stroud District Council

Emerging Strategy Consultation Report - Part Two, Nov 2019
Council's response
Wisloe is well located adjacent to the A38 and near to Cam & Dursley rail station to provide a relatively sustainable location for growth with wider facilities and services at nearby Cam and Dursley. Development of a new settlement at Wisloe provides the opportunity to transform the level of local facilities which piecemeal development could not provide. The new development will provide local centre facilities including retail and community provision as well as primary school(s), green infrastructure, etc. which will be of benefit to nearby existing local communities as well as those located within the new development. A number of technical studies have been undertaken to explore potential constraints which have identified that: the fields do not contain best and most versatile agricultural land; archaeological resources are unlikely to preclude development; the site is at low risk of flooding but the drainage strategy will seek to improve flood risk for downstream communities. Noise modelling and further ecological work is required which is likely to affect the design and payout of the site but would not prevent development. Coalescence of villages can be avoided through generous green infrastructure and strategic landscaping which is characteristic of a garden community. There are opportunities to provide new and better links for cyclists and pedestrians to the local network, to improve access to Cam & Dursley rail station and to facilities at Cam. The site will be subject to transport modelling and detailed policy wording will be developed taking into account local views for the final Local Plan in 2020.

We can help if you're not sure what to put and there is lots of help online or contact someone in the Wisloe Action Group, we are hoping t have a couple of Drop-ins to give any hints on what is are legitimate Arguments and which are not. Don't rush off a response that maybe thrown out.
