Representation ID: 18240

Received: 13/12/2018

Respondent: Bergh Apton Parish Council

Representation Summary:

The Parish Council consider this the best small site proposed as it would be an extension of the hamlet tradition prevalent in Bergh Apton.
Lying between the Hillview development to the south and Town Farmhouse to the north it is not a development in isolation.
The Parish Council disagrees with the comments of the HELAA. It has good access to mains drainage, the Church, the HWRC and bus service.
It does not affect any views of the Church and is some distance from the nearest SSSI.

The Parish Council consider this the best small site proposed for development under GNLP. If developed it would be an extension of the hamlet tradition prevalent in Bergh Apton, because the village is widely dispersed.
It would lie between the Hillview development to the south and Town Farmhouse to the north and is therefore not a development in isolation.
The Parish Council do not agree with the comments of the HELAA. It has good access to services as follows: Mains drainage, the Church, the HWRC and bus service.
Due to its situation on private land it does not affect any views of the church. It is some distance from the nearest SSSI, with Hillview, the HWRC and a field for grazing horses in between.
