Issues with the Main Issues Report.
The Church and the Manse have always been the centre of the village.
But original Potterton village existed as the shop, four original houses next to it in the row. Manse Road didn’t exist, several cottages/farmhouses existed as part of Laingseat Farm and Denhead Farm on that side of the village. Panmure Gardens from 1-9 were the next to be built in 1951/1952.
The village was not originally located along Manse Road, and this can’t be used to create the “settlement’s sense of place” closer to desired sites of OP1 and OP2. Planners don’t know their local history.
