My objections to the allocation of the site are supported by national planning policy, existing and emerging local planning policy and other material considerations such as the impact on the character and appearance of the village and the impact on amenity of existing residents.

1 The proposed site is outside the village boundary

2 It is completely our of character with the existing village profile. The village is linear in nature and with the exception of the development already prepared for Bee Orchid Way

3 The transport infrastructure cannot accommodate further traffic of this magnitude.

4 Inadequate utilities infrastructure for this development.

5 The site is not suitable as would impact on the character of the village, would involve loss of countryside and would impact on the natural environment.

6 There is no access for the proposed site to the road through the village.
Access routes would be for safety reasons have inadequate visibility due to the bend in the road. Visibility particularly important as this stretch of road is part of the National Cycle Network and heavily used by cyclists.

7 Rockland St Mary is a service village and therefore this site is totally inadequate due to its size.

8 Site would result in overlooking issues for many existing houses, which would result in loss of privacy & being located in rural location.
