Respondent: Mrs Madeline Beale

Representation Summary:

Stoke Holy Cross has already been subject to substantial development in relation to its size, which has stretched services and increased traffic in the village. The current infrastructure is deemed insufficient to justify any further large scale developments.

Whilst I consider the type and scale of the proposed development appropriate for the village, the proposed location is within the picturesque Tas Valley, in an area prone to flooding and outside the village boundary. Any encroachment of this would therefore set a precedent for further development on greenfield land around the village.
