Village Clusters Housing Allocations Plan - Alternative Sites & Focused Changes (Reg. 18)

Representation ID: 3295

Received: 04/01/2024

Respondent: Mr Peter Mills

Representation Summary:

Site SN0433 originally promoted 10/ha site density. At least 12/ha is open-ended, does not appear to be ‘a significantly reduced level of development’.
Removal of any part of an ancient hedge (and trees) is contrary to the Countryside hedgerows: protection and management guidelines, and will result in the loss of the colony of House Sparrows-conservation status red.
A footpath adjacent to the road will inevitably be used as additional vehicle parking, as east of The Wheel PH, despite it being an offence to obstruct public footpaths.
Any ‘straightening’ of the highway will encourage road traffic speed to increase
