Representation ID: 19347

Received: 13/12/2018

Respondent: Lesley Barratt

Representation Summary:

We are contacting you to express our grave concern about the above for the following reasons
1) It will spoil the entrance to the village which currently is a beautiful unspoilt rural view across the Tas valley
2) The loss of yet more agricultural land which is anyway outside the settlement boundary
3) The potential effect on wildlife
4) The impact on the flood plain
5) The impact of additional traffic on Norwich Road which is a busy road and which at this end of the village is narrow creating problems when large vehicles have to mount the pavement to pass cars let alone other large vehicles. Accessing Norwich Road from the proposed development would be both difficult and dangerous.
6) Lack of amenities in the village (no shop)
7) The village has already had two new developments off Long Lane with plans to extend these further. We do not need or want any more development in this village.
8) To allow this development would set a precedent for further future development on this proposed site.
Why should our idyllic landscape be ruined for the financial benefit of a landowner who has no connection with this village and who will not have to live with the consequences?
