Prime arable land should not be eligible for development. Gt Plumstead may well be classed as a serviced village, but the services leave much to be desired and more houses will only put more strain on the existing village. Gt Plumstead already has it's fair share of approved new housing which is currently being built. We don't need any more.
Despite the fact that this site has now reduced in half compared to the original consultation, my objection is just as strong as it ever was. Gt Plumstead is NOT the serviced village that the report makes you believe it to be. There is still no shop or post office. Other amenities could be considered basic at most. This site is STILL high grade agricultural land and should not be eligible for housing. Furthermore, the report says Gt Plumstead is capable of taking pockets of small developments. There is nothing small about this site and suggested number of houses. New houses are already being built as a result of previous approvals and there are 100s of houses being built at the Little Hospital site which, as the crow flies, is less than a mile away. In light of the fact that there are 1000s of other houses already been granted approval in the vicinity of the NDR and surrounding towns/villages, this site is completely unnecessary.
