Representation Summary:

Summary: flooding risk, disturbing a natural haven for wildlife, and excessive number of homes for a small village (that has already 'done its bit') to absorb.

Full text:

This is a huge number of homes to absorb in addition to the existing new development of houses on adjacent land. The proposed site acts as a natural absorbant of rainfall, and properties and land that lie below the site will undoubtedly suffer from flooding. At present, a large amount of water already gathers in Seamere Road. Secondly, the area currently acts as a haven for wildlife, including wild deer and barn owls. Thirdly, irrespective of location, this is an excessive amount of homes for a small village to absorb and will place unreasonable burden on local services.
