I am writing to oppose the proposed development site GNLP0535 situated to the south of Church Lane for the following reasons.
The site is accessed off a single track road with limited passing points which is used by walkers, cyclists and families on the way to school. The additional properties will increase the volume of traffic increasing the risk to those using the road.
Repeated developments of this size within the village without addressing the need to improve and enhance the facilities and services in conjuction with the developments is going increase the pressures on the facilities.
By permitting developments outside the existing development boundary the benefit of the boundary is lost and a precedent is set for re-drawing the boundaries simply to permit development. Changes to development boundaries should only be undertaken once all other options have been exhausted and in discussion with the residents of village.
The development will also have an effect on the value and more importantly, our enjoyment of, our home. One of the main reasons we chose our home was due to the view across fields from the rear of the house; a view we thought was protected by the development boundary. Any development of this site would destroy that view.
