    Response to the Draft Supplementary Planning Document relating to the Eastern Development Area by South Marston Parish Council Submitted to Swindon Borough Council by th Colin McEwen, Chair on the 11 June 2009 Contact Details: [email protected] 01793 825312 General correspondence to; Roger Powell, Clerk to the Council [email protected] 01793 827515 Page 1 of 12 Response to the Draft Supplementary Planning Document relating to the Eastern Development Area by South Marston Parish Council This response Is dated 11.06.2009, and follows consideration of the draft SPD and a meeting between representatives of SMPC and officers of the Forward Planning, Highways and Drainage departments of the Swindon Borough Council 1. DO YOU AGREE WITH THE VISION & DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLES? The existing Regional Spatial Strategy requirement for housing within Swindon Borough assumed continued economic growth and significant in-migration into the Swindon as a principal urban area. With the underlying changes now evident in global economics which will persist long after any short term downturn in the economy, Swindon Borough Council will need to manage the risk that the planned scale of housing growth will no longer be required before peak population growth in the UK is reached. In the context of the Eastern Development Area, we suggest that it would be sensible to plan the phasing of any development so that it could, if necessary, be sustainable as a smaller community than the 12,000 houses currently planned. In particular we suggest that the plan should be structured to minimise unnecessary expense on infrastructure costs in the event that the full scheme cannot be completed.
