Millbrook Parish Consultation Events and surveys

Results of Public consultations in Millbrook

These conclusions have been reached following a series of consultations with the residents of Millbrook. Full details and results be found further down this page.

Summary

There was consistent support for new development to be on the western side of the village.

This will have the least impact on traffic congestion and parking in the village whilst supporting the need for new local homes which will be part of the village and not isolated from local village amenities.

There was overwhelming opinion to have no further housing at Southdown, St John’s Road/ Close, Blindwell Hill and Millpool Head.

The only places identified as being appropriate for housing were Hounster Hill and adjacent to Manor Lodge, opposite Millbrook graveyard.

Suggested conditions of development include:

Improving footpath access to schools and local amenities (shops, PO, doctor, village hall etc)
Off road parking to be included with any new buildings
Priority for one/ two bedroom properties specifically suitable for elderly/young people thus enabling larger houses to be freed-up for families
New development should be in keeping with the style of the village
Occupancy of affordable homes is prioritised for local people
