Respondent: Mr Harvey Easter
Opposing the site's development, but if approved, conditions include restricting it to an alternative field, upgrading drainage, limiting houses to 20. Requisites also include completing the new village hall, preserving the play area, ensuring additional parking, implementing traffic calming measures, prohibiting tree removal, maintaining the village aesthetic, and incorporating a provision against future development on the site.
I oppose the allocation of the site for development; however, if it is approved, specific conditions should be included in the allocation policy:
Development should be confined to the alternative field offered by developers during the parish council meeting on December 19th, preserving the link between the village hall, playing field, and play area.
Upgrade sewage and drainage systems, indemnified by SNDC in case of failure. This indemnity should apply to all village houses due to the uncertain impact of additional hard standing on water flow.
Limit any development to 20 houses. If the initial site is chosen, only build bungalows alongside the existing properties on Chapel Street.
Complete the new village hall before commencing residential development, with perpetual freehold granted to the village hall committee for the village hall and playing field.
Preserve the play area with safe access throughout the development.
Mandate substantial additional parking for school runs, with restrictions on Chapel Street parking causing traffic issues.
Implement traffic calming measures on Cock Street and Chapel Street, enforcing speed limits strictly.
No removal of trees should be allowed.
Develop the site in harmony with the village aesthetic, ensuring unique designs for houses to maintain the area's character.
Include a provision preventing further development on the site in the future.
