Representation ID: 18439

Received: 11/12/2018

Respondent: Mr & Mrs M Root

Representation Summary:

We would hereby lodge our objections to development of the above referenced site.
1) Site area of 13-75 hectares would enable up to 400 additional properties, more than doubling the size of the village- this is not acceptable.
2) Current infrastructure would not be able to support such a large development. E.g. no school, no village shop, substandard bus service
3) Road system in village cannot cater for the expected traffic increase, already causing problems with excessive speeding and by being used as a 'rat run'
4) Expected problems to existing housing with impact of water run off
5) The character of the village would be changed completely with dominance of modern housing estate.
6) It is understood other small parcels of land may be subjected to possible development that may provide a minimal and more acceptable amount of housing.
