Planning GNLP2089
* Concern with areas of outstanding beauty, borders a Special Area of Conservation and a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Any development should focus on being developed along a high street and not into an area of natural beauty
* The land is not flat as per the application with significant topography issues, with risk of flooding and soft soil due to the area
* Impact on listed buildings nearby - placed in between three listed properties Grade I Old Hall and Church of St Peter and St Paul, Grade II - Thatched Cottage
* The size of the development is too large for a village the size of Barnham Broom - the road network is not suitable for such a large development to be added. Road safety at the proposed site would be a disaster, the crossroads are already very unsafe and there is no scope to improve this
* The area is located next to reed area with a large amount of wildlife - owls, bats, birds of prey and others
* The other options proposed within Barnham Broom are all less damaging to the environment, listed properties, natural beauty and located along road networks only, unlike this one
* The development would go behind other houses which already have a covenant on some of the land for access
* Barnham Broom is not suitable for additional industrial units due to lack of suitable road network
* There is little need in the area for another care home with 8 already within a 5 mile radius of the area are better situated near main roads
* Further light pollution
* Noise pollution
* Current village infrastructure is maxed out i.e. Sewerage, Electricity and Internet
* Capacity in the school will also be compromised
* Personal invasion of privacy along my border, property was designed with open glass
