Outside the village and therefore inappropriate. Combined with very dangerous vehicular access this site is especially unsuitable

This proposal (increased to 9 properties at the last count) was not, to my knowledge, part of the original Wicklewood plan but appears now to have become so despite considerable public objections. My particular objections are based around the handling and dispersal of waste and rain water and no proper solution that would be satisfactory long-term to existing residents (including me) has been proposed. Other facts that concern the village include proposed access onto Hackford Road on a very dangerous bend known to have road accidents history.

Wicklewood Parish Council have concerns about drainage at this site. At a presentation given by a developer at a parish council meeting, the parish council and several local residents raised concerns about how the surface drainage of this site would impact on the drainage and septic tanks of nearby properties. We cannot see that anything has been done to mitigate this risk. There are also concerns about the development exiting onto that road on a blind bend where speeding is an issue and which has already seen some accidents

Whilst there are no designated heritage assets on this site, the grade I listed church of All Saints and the grade II listed war memorial lie to the south of the site. The grade II listed Old Mill House lies to the west of the site. Therefore, any development of this site has the potential to impact upon the significance of these heritage assets through development within the setting of the assets.
There is a degree of separation of the site from the church.
We do appreciate that this is an existing allocation and it has a planning application pending determination.
We welcome the second bullet point relating to the landscaping and the church and its setting and suggest the addition of the words conserve and enhance to more closely reflect the NPPF.
