Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 19839

Received: 04/02/2020

Respondent: Mr K Sharman

Representation Summary:

In support of non allocation:

We wish to register our strong objections to these plans in the Poringland and Stoke Holy Cross areas. They are 2124,0223,2111. The current scramble at the behest of politicians to cover every open space with bricks and mortar is ruining the countryside. Is there no thought for future generations?

Over the last few years (and ongoing) a substantial building program has transformed our local villages from rural to almost suburban status.

If the greenfield-agricultural sites were to be "developed" this would result in yet more cars, delivery vehicles, construction traffic, noise and pollution.

A further consequence would be an even greater strain on our struggling medical center, roads and schools.

I have just had to wait 4 weeks to see my local GP. We ask you to refuse these applications.
