Representation Summary:
35 dwellings is a large development for the size of village - a village of historical character with multiple listed buildings. It means maybe up to an additional 150 residents. The existing village population was 595 in 2011 - for one development to bring a 25% population increase is not balanced. It might be reasonable to assume a 25% increase in traffic volume which is unsafe in a village with so few pavements or safe crossings of the main road.
Change suggested by respondent:
The proposed development is too large for the size of village. Any development plan needs to be smaller in scale.
