Representation ID: 18618

Received: 12/12/2018

Respondent: Marlingford and Colton Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Full reasons are in our representation but to summarise an additional concern to our initial response: Isolation by geography and use. Any residential development of this site, including possible use for "holiday / staff accommodation for Barnham Broom Golf and Country Club" would be isolated from the rest of the village both by geography and use, and contribute nothing to community cohesion. Its distance and remoteness from Barnham Broom Golf & Country Club would also necessitate many car journeys, adding to the congestion on narrow rural roads.

The Parish Council is pleased to note that, despite being reduced by 5.67 ha to 23.67 ha, it is considered unsuitable. The Parish Council remains opposed to development and in addition to the objections noted in our previous response also due to the following:
