On a positive note, the Britten Close proposals have some merit. We are supportive of the amendment proposed by you i.e. access to the proposed bungalows via the Kimbolton Road rather than via Britten Close so as not to set a precedent for building behind buildings.

C. Well I think this is a sensible proposal. It would free up some family homes.

A. We agree, we don't think that youngsters could afford this Village anyway and so starter homes wouldn't be appropriate.

Q. Surely with an ageing population we need to be attracting young blood into the Village for the future. Why build retirement homes?

A. Actually we are thinking of moving into them, this will then free up our houses for families. We are rattling round in the big 4 bedroomed houses.

Q. What would be the impact on traffic in Britten Close?

A. As they are retirement homes, we think that there will only be 6 cars and they won't be using the roads during peak times. We think the impact will be minimal.

C. I am not convinced. This is a small road and 6 extra cars will be a significant increase in traffic.

A. I sit in my dining room most of the day and rarely see cars during the day.
