This proposal is a disgrace. Rockland St Mary is a linear village, and should not be attempted to gain housing on land outside the linear boundary.
Drainage WOULD be a massive issue. Current drainage cannot cope.
The effect on wildlife would be severe - bats and owls are regulars in my back garden.
Safety - the road is narrow, and a national cycle route - it would be unsafe having just 1 entrance, let alone 3 - 2 of which would be over existing pavements, where that is the only way to the school, the post office, and doctors surgery.
This proposal (in fact all three - GNLP2061 / 2063 / 2064) is a disgrace. Rockland St Mary is a linear village, and should not be attempted to gain housing on land outside the linear boundary.
Drainage WOULD be a massive issue. Current drainage cannot cope.
The effect on local wildlife would be severe - bats and owls are regulars in my back garden. These would no long be there due to 50+ houses in one development alone!! These areas should be protected, not built upon.
Safety - the road is narrow, and a national cycle route - it would be so unsafe having just 1 entrance, let alone 3 - 2 of which would be over existing pavements, where that is the only way to the school, the post office, and doctors surgery.
There is a lot of poorly sighted people in Rockland - extra road entrances are a massive problem for partially sighted people.
Reject this proposal very strongly.
