In some circumstance for wind eg ‘appropriate’ or ‘at sea’ or ‘on the coast’
For solar eg ‘discrete’, preferably on commercial buildings’

19. More of your comments – a small selection
Organised pedestrian and bike paths from Park & Ride to village needed
Speed cameras and bumps needed
Increase in number of GPs and a New Junior school needed
A green wedge should be maintained along Molrams Lane. Stop allowing small dwellings from being converted to large 5 bedroom dwellings.

20. Draft Vision
Sandon will be a village community, clearly separated from neighbouring settlements by green space, preserving a rural character
Small housing developments will maintain a mix of housing size and type with good access to the Park and Ride by foot and bike
This and any other essential building growth, must acknowledge the concerns of Sandon residents about present infrastructure, as traffic and roads, medical and educational facilities are already working to capacity
