Respondent: Mr Joseph Stevens
If this Site 1 development goes ahead it will wilfully squander a millenium of rural history, remove in one fell swoop the best rural aspect that Radford Semele village possesses and desecrate the setting of the local church, a listed building with a present panoramic view which is an integral part of the village identity. By statute any such development within the setting of a listed building can only take place if there are no alternatives. The village already has a larger percentage of affordable housing than required. Traffic congestion would be unnecessarily dangerous.
