Village Clusters Housing Allocations Plan - Alternative Sites & Focused Changes (Reg. 18)
Representation ID: 3341
Received: 17/01/2024
Respondent: Mr Carl Ashworth
1) This considerable new proposed development would change the character of the village and would block the existing views.
2)The roads in the village are already very busy and dangerous for those walking, they could not cope well with traffic movements from an additional 35 properties.
3) The road outside the development is already prone to flooding. Arable land will take rainfall for better than any housing development.
4) Waste water may go to Whitlingham but will it be properly disposed of there? Water companies are not averse to releasing untreated water into rivers - stop the potential and leave this land as farmland.
5) Too much is being built on now - keep building to Brownfield sites.
6)The local school is oversubscribed already so no space for additional pupils form these new homes.
7)There is only a pub, village hall and (oversubscribed) primary school - no facilities locally for employment or leisure without using those (already busy) roads.
8)"Work for Us" SNDC and build this development on more suitable sites.
