Village plan: the proposals
The St Martin’s village plan proposals were included and formed the basis of the 2002 Island Plan built-up area for St Martin’s Village.
The village plan is an essential tool for monitoring and identifying future development. Its relevance is shown by comparing the 1993 parish needs with the numbers that have been provided to date:
- parish need housing - 31 units completed 1996 (Rue de la Haye)
- recreation - field 388 purchased 2004
- green lanes- St Martin’s proposals adopted within the Island network
- car parking - virtually complete
- traffic calming -western section from church to school only
- footpaths and safer routes to school – project started
- sheltered housing – 21 units complete 2003
Village plan: a catalyst
The village plan has acted as a catalyst for structured change; however, some of the above items remain outstanding. In addition, some identified aims have not yet been achieved, including:
- affordable first-time buyer housing
- further footpath
- pedestrian links and pedestrian safety
- further traffic management
- the village green
- sports facilities
- landscape enhancements
- possible future sheltered housing
