Respondent: Mr Robert Graver

Representation Summary:

Swainsthorpe is designated as "other villages" in existing local plans and deemed suitable for small scale infill development only. This proposed development is too large for the village comprising 20 properties that would exit onto a narrow and already busy road. Swainsthorpe already has overloaded infrastructure and few amenities (only a pub on the main A140)and no local employment. This development could be the start of an urban sprawl that could overwhelm the village and change it's character forever.
