I am objecting to land on Brome Hall Lane not being a prefered option site.

I have outlined below why this site should be promoted to a prefered option site.

Unfortunately, this site has not been promoted by the landowners until this stage. As one of the owners, I very much hope that the fact that this iste has not been represented until this stage does not effect the outcome of this process.

The current reasons for this not being considered are 'distance from settlement', 'high landscapre value', 'commections to potential local wildlife site'.

Distance from settlement: Subject to the above revised village boundary (to include Foremans Cottage as outlined below) this site would be immediately adjacent to the village boundary. This site is adjacent to preferred option site number 4 and no further from the village centre than this site would be.

High landscape value: While this site is adjacent to the canal network (as with three of the preferred option sites 1, 2 & 6) it offers no additional landscape value over and above many of the other preferred option sites.

Connections to potential wildlife site: Again, I would strongly suggest that this site has no additional impact on wildlife than any of the other preferred optioon sites. I would be happy for a habitat survey to be undertaken to demonstrate this as part of the planning process.

The preferred options sites are lower impact: Development on Brome hall Lane would be a lower impact than several of the current draft preferred option sites which have no road and services network to support tham.

We would be happy to see Brome hall Lane 9option 13) developed to a very high quality low density development to respect the adjacent listed building (as proposed with preferred option site 2).

There is already residential development on either side of the field, which makes it a natural position for development.
