New, Revised and Small Sites

Representation ID: 17571

Received: 01/12/2018

Respondent: Steve Baker

Representation Summary:

The site has unsuitable access, Church Road is narrow and access would be via a current track immediately next to an existing property.
The proposed 20 dwellings would increase traffic on Church Road and produce a dangerous junction at the site access due to the narrowness of the road, there are daily queues accessing the A140 and the site would increase strain on this already busy junction.
There is a threat to the local environment access.
Development should be on 'brownfield' sites rather than using a 'greenfield' site such as this.
The village has no facilities to support extra development.
