ALP1 is a green field site. Once developed it can never be returned to the grassy meadow with an abundance of wildlife it currently is. The Government policy (Michael Gove MP) is to prioritise brown field sites so why is this site being considered, especially in a village that simply cannot cope with additional development. Additionally, there is now no Government directive to build where it can be shown that new development is damaging the character of their area. SNDC should should look carefully at their outdated policy or face judicial review.
Remove ALP1 from the VCHAP
BAP1 is a brown field site, so if the Cluster has to take some houses (against our better judgment) then surely that is the only credible site. No cluster should be forced to take more than 25 houses, simply because some of the original clusters did not have potential sites as anticipated.
