Note that site is on northbound carriageway and not southbound as stated in table 10.1

No convenient access to GP surgeries, schools or public transport. Nearest facilities are in Hampton Magna over 2.5km away but no safe pedestrian/cycle links or public transport to village.

Distance from Hampton Magna will not help promote the peaceful and integrated co-existence with the local community.

Noise and potential health/pollution issues from adjacent A46. Also proximity to busy main road is a risk to children from the development and so contrary to national design guidance for such sites.

Site would be isolated development and would harm the character of the area.

Site is in the Green Belt but there are no very special circumstances that justify developing this site.

Unsustainable given distance from local facilities and so will not reduce the need to travel. Being on a dual carriageway may increase journey lengths unless access is allowed to both carriageways from the site.

Site may impact in service station and have a negative economic impact.

In accordance with national design policy if site not appropriate for residential development it should not be considered for gypsy and traveller use.

Sustainability Appraisal of Local Plan identified 3 major and 2 minor negative scores for the site.

More suitable sites should be taken forward and allocated.
