Representation Summary:

I object to this proposal. It is outside the development boundary. Poringland already has a severely saturated infrastructure. Encroaches into green belt countryside. Schools, doctors and exctremelylimited facilities in Poringland would be unable to sustain further estates. Would overlook and devalue properties, remove the village character and contravene article 8 of the human rights act. Loss of prime agricultural land, harmful to wildlife and cause even more chaos on the roads. Brickle Road already a rat run to avoid problems in Poringland. Would exacerbate drainage problems at the bottom of Brickle Road.

the proposal Item 4b says no to previous developments.The family have benefited financially as all chalets on Brickle Road were built on land by his father and grandfather.There is inconsistency of plot size. 2.89 hectares are on the suitability assessment plan and A Kings plan shows 3.3ha. Brickle Road is already a rat run due to the already saturated infrastructure of Poringland. The Community Centre mentioned is actually a very modest small village Hall.This site infringes the rights of residents standard of living see Article 8 of the Human Rights Act. We would be overlooked and overshadowed by an estate compared to linear building lines. It is outside the development boundary.A housing estate would devalue existing properties,threaten safety on the road, threaten wildlife,impact on already overloaded schools and doctors with no safe walk or cycle route to either and exacerbate surface drainage problems at the bottom of Brickle Road. There would also likely be increased crime rate with an affordable/social housing scheme such as this.It would cause loss of village character and become merged with Poringland which would further devalue our lifestyle and property values. Poringland's infrastructure is already severely saturated and Stoke Holy Cross has been overdeveloped beyond the agreed amount.
