Totally opposed to the proposals submitted in the GNLP proposals shown as GNLP 0512. This proposal would appear to have a total disregard for local people, government guidelines and the democratic process.
The scheme only came to our attention when we received the parish magazine on 27/02/18.
The scheme is contrary to the Government's proposals and guidelines that clearly state: 'that the answer to the housing crisis does not lie in tearing up the Green Belt.' 'Councils can only amend Green Belt boundaries if they can prove that they have fully explored every other reasonable option'.
The areas highlighted in GNLP 0512 are subjected to such building restrictions. The only building allowed is for farming buildings specified in Policy HOU9 and restricted replacement dwellings. These restrictions make sense they preserve the countryside.
Hainford Parish Council has agreed with the local people and relevant authorities a parish plan that clearly allows for building expansion in areas that can be serviced by roads and the utility companies.
The GNLP proposed areas are poorly serviced, the roads are narrow with no vehicle passing places, (particularly in Lady Lane where vehicles encroach on private property to pass) also the area is subject to a shallow water table, an electrical supply that frequently fails, a sewage system that barely copes with existing users, the adverse effect on wildlife in particular, Adders, Grass Snakes, Greater Crested Newts and other wildlife such as stoats, deer, owls and Buzzards. The scheme proposed by Hainford Parish Council makes sense! The GNLP0512 would be a disaster.
