The site is not developable or deliverable because it will: increase traffic use to unsafe levels with dangerous exit onto New Inn Hill/The Street; increase footfall to dangerous levels on narrow and inadequate pavements; result in an exit road not wide enough while disrupting heritage buildings; seriously impair the heritage/visual appearance of the village and fundamentally change the character of the village, destroying the current beautiful long view; threaten local biodiversity, endangering flora and fauna, including the Common Spotted Orchid threatened by run off from the construction site into the steam system feeding the orchid marsh-field.
Given the harm identified and the fundamental access constraints it is clear this proposed allocation is unsound and no further development of this size be considered in the village to preserve the existing character of development within Rockland St Mary.
