Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Form & character: should be noted that there is large playing field with play equipment next to village hall. Also village pond upgrade in 2023.
Settlement limit: the changes will have immediate effect on linear style of village. Preference of the Neighbourhood Plan team was 3 smaller sites, rather than one larger site proposed by VCHAP. PC disappointed that NCC Environment Officer did not recommend any of village trees to be suitable for Preservation Orders.
Site allocations: no through village bus service. Bus stops on A140, more than mile from proposed site.
Village linear characteristic: proposed development will result in all properties on south of Mill Rd and 10 bungalows to west of The Street losing their only open view of countryside. Linear characteristic of village should be retained, in line with adopted NP.
Partial site development: serious concern that development of half original proposed site will in future lead to phase 2, which would pose major roadway safety issues.
Neighbourhood Plan Tiv 1: this proposal is not in conformity with policy Tiv1 of the NP (in terms of respecting the form, character and setting of the established pattern of development. The proposal also contradicts NP as regards privacy and open views.
