I refer to the above consultation and wish to register my concerns over this site proposal for the following reasons.
1. A smaller version of this proposal for 2 houses was submitted in 2014 (SNC planning application ref 2014/2418. Please see my attached letter of objection 16 Dec 2014. [attached to this record]
This application was withdrawn by the applicant when the planning officer (Robert Webb) advised the applicant that SNC were minded to refuse the application on the grounds of various planning policies and that Highways objected on the grounds of sustainability. The attached letter from RW refers.
2. In the present site proposal submission (GNLP0547) para 12e says the application was withdrawn because of residents and our Parish Council concerns about precedent and it being outside the village boundary. It makes no mention of the main concerns from SNC about conflicting with planning policies or Highways objection on sustainability grounds. It fails to note that SNC were minded refusal per RW's letter above.
3 In para 13 of the submission it notes the need for the landowner to obtain legal consent from adjacent landowners to cut back vegetation to ensure adequate sightlines over their land. The main owner in question said he would not provide the agreement for the previous application, and will not for this new proposal.
4. SNC were minded to refuse for 2 houses why would they accept this for up to 15 on exactly the same area with the same plans for access onto the apex of a dangerous bend on the 81113? If GNLP do consider inclusion of this site will they please have a site visit to see how dangerous this bend is before deciding.
5. The Carleton Rode Parish Council unanimously objected to this proposal for the above reasons on Tuesday 13 March 2018.
6. In summary this application is outside the development boundary, on a greenfield site, in open countryside where a smaller application was minded for refusal by SNC, is not a sustainable location with significant Highway safety issues and could act as a precedent to other similar applications.
Please note these concerns when considering this application
Thank you
