Respondent: Westham House Ltd
Westham Lane is a private road so would need a CPO and widening, which will have adverse visual impact.
CPO would be required for the farmer's land as he does not wish to sell it.
Water voles, a protect species, are on the site.
Bronze Age burial site have been discovered in the vicinity.
Access on to the Bypass would be dangerous and there are no pedestrian crossing points for access to the village.
Site has no mains gas or sewage facilities.
Site is at medium risk of flooding.
No GP in the village.
Will create an eyesore. Difficult to mitigate visual impact of such a development.
This is development outside the village envelope - is it double standards given difficulty existing residents have developing sites/extending properties?
Will create noise and disturbance for Westham House and decimate the business.
This development would contradict Rural Area Policies on new housing, employment, safeguarding rural roads, camping and caravan sites.
Integration and co-existence seems unlikely.
