I strongly object as

1 The proposed site is outside the village boundary

2 It is completely out of character with the existing village profile. The village is linear in nature with the exception of the development already prepared for the Bee-Orchid Way.

3 The transport infrastructure cannot accommodate further traffic of this magnitude

4 Inadequate utilities infrastructure for this development

5 The site is not suitable as would impact on the character of the village, involve loss of countryside and would impact on the natural enviroment

6 Access routes for safety reasons would have inadequate visibility due to the bend in the road. Visibility particular important as the stretch of road is part of the cycle network and heavily used by cyclists

7 Rockland St Mary is a service village and therefore this is totally inadequate due to its size

8 Site would result in overlooking issues for many excisting houses, which would result in loss of privacy and being located in a rural location
