The development would change the character of the village significantly expanding the village envelope. The main road through the village is neither of sufficient width or quality to support the construction traffic and eventual commuter traffic.
This development is wholly inappropriate for the existing community, it would totally change the nature of the village. In addition I object on the following grounds:
1) Insufficient infrastructure - Rockland St Mary is located on an unclassified highway. Over some sections of the likely commuter route the carriageway width is insufficient for two vehicles to safely pass. The asphalt is already nearing end of life and the construction traffic from a development of this size is likely to cause it to disintegrate. Other services are also likely to be insufficient regular water leaks are a feature in the area.
2) The development would significantly expand the village envelope.
