      notes from edington parish council

      Every new house built within the settlement boundary on unprotected land will reduce the pressure on less suitable land outside the settlement boundary. To object to this development would be contrary to the Local Plan and based on opinion rather than our infrastructure and needs of the village. Bringing families in to keep our school open, support local businesses and fill local jobs is vital.
