Site Proposals document

Representation ID: 15430

Received: 21/03/2018

Respondent: Mr Christopher Danby

Representation Summary:

This site is known to have serious flooding issues, Hainford lacks a suitable infrastructure to support this level of development, we constantly suffer power cuts, inadequate sever system, inadequate practical bus service. The roads in and around Hainford lack the capacity to support increase traffic movement, being single track with passing spaces in most cases. The site is again in conflict with Hainford's status of 'Other Village' which by definition stated in the GNLP still applies. The site is outside of the development boundary, disproportionate to the size of Hainford and is in conflict with the Parish plan.

This site is not related to the existing village, disproportionate in size and known for serious flooding. There are many TPOs in this stretch of road and development would impact on the wildlife of the area. It is outside the development boundary and in conflict with the parish plan. Hainford lacks a suitable infrastructure to support this level of development, we constantly suffer power cuts, the sever system is always blocking, there is no real practical bus service for the working people, with the bus company already struggling to justify the service now. Your own policy suggests that there should be a pavement from all areas of the village to the primary school, which there isn't which is in conflict with the service village status you propose
The roads in and around Hainford lack the capacity to support increased traffic movement, being single track with passing spaces in most cases. Loss of rural amenity.
When commenting recently on a single dwelling proposal in the Grange Road area the Highways response was:
"In regard to transport sustainability Hainford, which has very limited standard every day facilities is not Considered an acceptable location, the site is not connected to footway links which, in any case, are Sporadic in the village and public transport services are very limited. Accordingly the proposed Development will result in an over reliance of the private car contrary to sustainability objective."
