Respondent: Mr Peter Huxtable

Representation Summary:

Building on this site would spoil the character and countryside feel of the entrance to the village. Due to the gradient of the land I feel any housing would look quite overpowering from the road and they would signicantly detract from the view of the village across the fields from Bullockshed Lane.
I don't believe that the argument put forward in the settlement summary as 'being close to the bus stop' is a justifiable reason for building houses on a very pleasant area, especially as the bus service is at best unreliable and overpriced.
