Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 20245

Received: 03/03/2020

Respondent: Miss Jenny Cockburn

Representation Summary:

This site is in an area that provides a high contribution towards the landscapes character and openness of the area. It provides great access for walkers
The roads surrounding the site are narrow and entirely inappropriate. If the roads were made wider it would destroy ancient hedgerows.
Strumpshaw is a tiny hamlet with no facilities like shops, schools, doctors, dentist which means residents would be totally reliant on a car. This is not consistent with national law to become carbon neutral by 2050.
The village has experienced growth during recent years so more preferable locations for development should be considered.
