Respondent: Mr Brian Frith

Representation Summary:

Forncett Parish Council: We consider ourselves 'borderline' service villages, and, although some development would not be ruled out, concerns over lack of facilities, transport links and narrow local roads mean that any development should be in keeping with our village situation and surroundings and on a scale which is commensurate with the limited facilities available.

This comment submitted on behalf of Forncett Parish Council
There seems to be no opportunity to make a general comment on all sites within the Parish of Forncett (St Peter, including Forncett End, and St Mary) so this comment is applicable to all sites - those originally submitted and 'new' sites Autumn 2018.
Forncett Parish Council has decided not to make comments on individual sites, but would wish to make the following points:
We feel our settlements are 'borderline' Service Villages with no doctor, post office, general store etc. and mediocre transport links. We do not rule out modest future development but this should be in keeping with our village situation and surroundings and on a scale which is commensurate with the limited facilities available. Of major concern is that many of our roads are single track with few passing places - which struggle to cope with the level of traffic at the moment. Further extensive (or even moderate) development requiring access on these roads would be problematic.
