Unsound proposal due to not meeting your own criteria (listed in text).

Amount of traffic on a country road and accessing the A140.
Sandwiched between a railway line and high voltage pylons make it unsafe for babies and children.

Revisions linking the two original sites together adds nothing to support this application. 20 houses cannot be described as 'infill'. This development would mean approx 40 more cars (2 cars per house) and 320 movements per day undertaking normal daily living. The local road network cannot sustain this amount of traffic, particularly access to the A140. If this estate is added to the other proposals it will mean 60 houses in Swainsthorpe! This cannot be described as "small scale development appropriate to the needs of the village and its immediate surroundings". It does not meet your 4 key requirements for a "service village" or the "6 services from a menu of 12 which must include an accessible primary school" The much quoted amenities namely a bus stop and public house is not anywhere near the centre of the village and for this development would mean walking on a busy country road with no pavement. Sandwiched between the railway line and high voltage pylons makes this an unsound proposal.
