Preferred Options for Sites

Representation ID: 64119

Received: 05/05/2014

Respondent: Mr Stuart Jackson

Representation Summary:

The plot has so much value historically, environmentally, for its agriculture and its beauty and is very unsuitable for any dwellings due to its residential location, poor drainage, already strained local amenities and busy road infrastructure.

We object strongly to this proposed site for the following reasons amongst many:
* It is only 50 metres from a Grade 2 listed barn
* The site important huge historical value
* The land is grade 3 agricultural land and should be kept as farmland
* Land is farmed so plays an important role in local food production and is important for its micro economy.
* With frontage to two major roads, the site would have a massive detrimental effect on the landscape character.
* It would destroy a large natural habitat
* The site is too close in proximity to too many residential properties
* The road and junction are already very busy and dangerous, something else would need to be done to address this
* The proposed land is already prone to flooding so is unsuitable for development. The development would only exacerbate the problem
* The village as it is does not have adequate services and amenities to support development.
* The GP surgery is not big enough
* Children will take priority over others for places at the school, ours will have to travel further afield for their schooling
* The proposal is not deliverable as the landowner is unwilling to sell
