Respondent: Westham House Ltd

Access onto the A429 is dangerous.
No pedestrian crossing facilities to get to the village.
Seems contradictory given difficulty existing residents have had extending properties to then allocate this site in Westham Lane.
Noise and disturbance from the site would impact upon Westham House and is likely to decimate the business and impact on the local economy.
Westham Lane is a private road so would need a CPO and widening, which will have adverse visual impact.
Will result in loss of Grade 2 farmland. 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.
Seems unlikely that the site will promote integration and peaceful co-existence.
No storm/foul sewers or mains gas.
Site is at medium risk of flooding.
No GP in the village.
Given surrounding flat land it will be 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?
This development would contradict Rural Area Policies on new housing, employment, safeguarding rural roads, camping and caravan sites.
