This site would have significant impact on the countryside, as stated in your own brief (GNLP) this land is high grade arable land, we as a county have to put a stop to the loss of agricultural land.
Also this small village already has 2 approved sites and from research that has been carried out we know that this is adequate for the area. Not to mention the housing already given the green light or indeed much more suitable sites within this area that have been put forward, either within the NDR boundary (sensible) or outlining villages, therefore this land should never have been highlighted, its totally unnecessary.
In addition there are no local services in Gt Plumstead even though incorrectly it is stated there is. (there is no shop, PO, reasonable bus service etc...). Despite the NDR the local roads here cannot take anymore cars, we are plagued with issue,s be it pot holes, verges damaged, accidents or congestion, more houses result in many more cars. This alone is an issue to peoples health.
Also with trees, hedges, fields being destroyed what about our wildlife..... We are lucky to have some beautiful birds, animals, creatures in our villages these are at risk with swathes of concrete.
The people who have chosen to live in this small village want a country life in a small community, this proposed site would totally change the village forever.
