Respondent: Mrs Tracy Dean

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

The drainage is inadequate for the existing properties, excluding the 15 already in progress as raw sewage spews into the river. There are also issues with the volume of traffic on very small poorly maintained roads and although the highways have not objected to this I sincerely hope that should there be a fatality on these roads that whoever signs off on this has done their research properly and if not should be challenged legally should this come to pass. Also we have recently been made aware of huge challenges with the electricity to the proposed new development.

Change suggested by respondent:

A 10 to 15 year pause to allow the village to absorb the development that's in progress to be concluded. Also a chance for this village to feel it's being listened to. Michael Gove has conceded that over development of rural communities is like vandalism and has taken pressure of local government to push for cluster builds!
