Of all the proposals the only one that received almost universal support was for houses on the JST site (NDP-S013) and indeed if adopted would meet a large percentage of the desired increase in houses proposed from the village survey. The issue here is the assumption that JST will leave in the next five years. From the comment's of Jason Kew (JST) at the meeting, this would seem highly unlikely, because of the current state of land prices and the current site is potentially very expensive to develop. As a result we do not feel that as a village community we should rely on the development of the JST site to meet our development wishes. However, if it did happen, it would certainly be an improvement over the current use of the land. and would provide a unique opportunity to define the character of the centre of Chelveston one aspect of which is to insist upon stone facing at least to the roadside house in the proposed development.
