* Check / confirm the Martock population.

In the interest of strict planning accuracy we would like Martock to be referred to as a village (or a rural centre) rather than a town; we do not meet the settlement criteria of a town used in the Local Plan.

This section includes a significant statistic on the net out-commute from the village to work (80%). We appreciate the fact that the source and justification for this figure that has been shared with us. We suggest, however, that all such justifications, including the source of the data on which they are based, should be included within the document, perhaps in a technical annex.
