This site is not suitable for development in that:-
1. It would have an adverse effect on the views from and to the Tas Valley which at this point is an area of outstanding natural beauty (even if it is not perhaps officially designated as such).
2. It is adjacent to a Grade 1 listed church. Special rules apply to any development next to such buildings. The development would adversely effect the view to and from the listed building. This church and its graveyard are particularly impressive because of the surrounding countryside. It is an area of peace and tranquillity. The development would destroy this.
3. It amounts to ribbon development which is not usually acceptable in planning terms.
4.It is outside the settlement development boundaries and other sites for housing development lie within the boundaries but have yet to be developed.
5. Access to the development would be from a single track country lane which is already too busy.
6. I understand that this field has flooded in the past.
7. There are no mains for sewage or gas. Public transport is minimal.
8. Housing density requirements would normally suggest approximately 45 homes on a site of 1.51 ha. So does the proposed development comply with planning density requirements?
9. Do 6 upmarket dwellings really satisfy housing need?
10. There is limited infrastructure to support housing development.
11. It is not in keeping with and would have an adverse effect on the adjacent conservation area.
12. It is not a brown field site it is grade a agricultural land which provides the nations food.
