It would be inappropriate to develop beyond the "nucleated" settlement as every village is based on ribbon development and new development should follow this pattern. The Church Meadow Site is beyond two former nucleated development sites and only accessible by a single access point. The existing houses are commonly populated by young families and children can often be found playing in the street outside their houses; additional development would increase traffic and thereby generate road safety issues.
Remove ALP1 from the VCHAP.

1. School - increased traffic around school. It is already chaotic at pick-up times by parents jamming the narrow roads.
2. Normal traffic through the village is already heavy at times and is appalling if A146 is closed due to an accident.
3, The roads in Alpington and Yelverton are TOTALLY UNSUITABLE for the extra traffic which will be generated by the proposed 25 more dwellings.
4. 25 more dwellings will generate upwards of 30+ more vehicles.
5. There is a proposal to alter the roadways in the villages to alleviate the extra traffic. I totally object to this.
My main concern is the burden on our twin villages of Alpington and Yelverton's road infrastructure by the imposition of yet another 25 dwellings. With modern cars increasing in width every year our rural roads are becoming even more inadequate.
I do not want see any more large scale housing developments in either of our twin villages of Alpington and Yelverton. Ribbon development, where appropriate, is a much better option.
