1.Sufficient allocation in Stoke Holy Cross already with 85 "remaining
dwellings" as at 1/4/2017 per the GNLP Site Proposals document, across 3
existing and separate sites.
2.Water supply and sewerage provision is already overstretched and
insufficient for more homes in SHC over and above those recently agreed and
under construction. Long Lane in SHC is regularly closed for long periods
for attention to burst pipes.
3.Surface water run-off is already a major problem with frequent flooding
already experienced in gardens of occupied homes on the existing Salamanca
development site. Adjacent significant development would exacerbate this
issue.
4.Road traffic. Surrounding roads are narrow and are not conducive to a
significant increase in road traffic movements, particularly with a Primary
School situated on the main road thoroughfare of Long Lane.
5.Lack of amenities eg. shops, medical facilities, dentist etc. Village
amenities are already insufficient to serve the existing community of SHC,
never mind a significant increase in the size of that community.
6. Character. Proposed development would have a significant visual impact
on the village and adversely affect the existing character of it.
