New, Revised and Small Sites

Representation ID: 18249

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 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 does not agree with the comments of the HELLA. The site 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 change in settlement boundary together with the proposed GNLP2015 site to be the best small site proposed for development under GNLP. If developed it would be an extension of the hamlet tradition prevelant 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 in the consultation document. 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 used for grazing horses in between.
