Respondent: Mrs Caroline Pritchard

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

1. The Street and footway infrastructure is incapable of safely accommodating the increased volume of traffic and footway volume created by 25 dwellings. Street layout (e.g pond in front of No 26) unlikely to accommodate safe new footway proposed by promoter.
2. Village character adversely affected due to the size and dwelling density of plan
3. The proposed access points (currently in private ownership) on to The Street will be dangerous to road users and pedestrians, including school children walking to and from the village school.
4. Agricultural Machinery access. How would this be arranged safely should the plan proceed?

Change suggested by respondent:

1. Find alternative safe access points before plan can proceed.
2. Reduce significantly the number of proposed dwellings.
3. Village infrastructure not capable of accommodating additional traffic, parking and footfall thus damaging the character of the historic village.
