Representation ID: 1739

Received: 17/08/2021

Respondent: Lanpro Services Ltd

Representation Summary:

Development of these greenfield sites will have a significant adverse impact on public views across the open landscape to the north of the village of Brooke; • Development of these important gateway sites will cause harm to the setting of the village and its conservation area; • Development in this location is at odds with the historic spatial development pattern of the village and will result in new housing that is unrelated and physically divorced from existing village shops and services; • Due to the lack of any existing footway or cycleway new housing development in this location will certainly result in excessive motor car use to access local shops and services; • New vehicular access points into the proposed residential sites on either side of the A1332 (and in close proximity to existing access points either side of the layby if SN0432REVB were delivered in advance of as a stand-alone scheme) will result in a serious highway safety hazard; and • Measures required to design-out the severe landscape and highway safety problems will only increase the level of harm already identified.
