Green belt and whilst a previously developed site, is in open countryside. Exceptional circumstances required to develop.
Remote location on busy A445. No pedestrian acces via footpaths so dangerous. Difficult therefore to access local facilities, especially children walking to school.
No GP surgery in Cubbingotn and no school places locally. Travelling to facilities not sustainable.
Fast moving vehicles on busy road and slow moving vehicles from the site on the brow of a hill a hazard. Road is proposed as haul route for HS2 which will increase HGV usage during construction.
Utilities are limited or non existent. Connection will be expensive.
Limited screening of site. Development would be visible and inappropriate in green belt/open countryside.
Site has been infilled and contaminated. Remediation costs likely to be high.
Badgers on site are protected species. Adverse effect on all wildlife.
NPPF and Planning Policy for Travellers guidance should be taken into account if Planning applications considered later.
