Representation Summary:

I am against the large development on the grounds of sustainability, the affect on current tourist businesses and the changing of the character of an area of national beauty. Reading this summary is pointless, please read the full representation.

Objections:- sustainability of such large development in this rural area. No employment. Insufficient doctors, schools, dentists and other local amenities. Poor public transport. Massive increase in transport as all dwellings will need their own cars and in many cases there will be 2 or even 3. Services, especially drainage, will need extensive investment probably negating the profitability of building. There will be a danger of negatively affecting existing properties especially in Low Rd. where they sited in a lower position. Such a large development will be detrimental to the existing tourist businesses in the village where quiet country locations are the attraction. Wortwell is small, friendly and has an excellent community spirit in an area of outstanding natural beauty, such a development will change the dynamics of the village and decrease the quality of life of the current inhabitants.
