The site would be outside the current settlement limits, take up prime agricultural land, put increased pressure on road safety (blind bends, accident hot spot), and impact on the natural beauty of the landscape from the public rights of way (SNVC Objective 3 - Protect the character of villages and their settings), as well as loss of prime hedgerows, green space and habitat.
The proposed density of housing is likely to increase surface water flood risk and increase flows into Hellington Beck. Changes to groundwater and surface water flows could adversely affect downstream ecosystems and designated sites.
The scale of development and impact on the landscape needs to be reconsidered to meet Objective 3.
