Policy EMP3: Town, District and Local Centres

Policy box, Figure or Paragraph Number: 
Object

Do not agree with the rural village of Overton being included as a district centre.

It is a local centre, similar to Kingsclere, that has suffered significantly following recent over development of the village with no investment in local facilities, most notably public transport provision, traffic free cycle routes and parking.

It has also suffered with the loss of a major employer and currently has vacant commercial and retail properties.
