Representation ID: 20248

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. The development of this site would result in a significant impact on the form and character of rural landscape
The roads surrounding the site are narrow and entirely inappropriate
Strumpshaw is a tiny hamlet with no facilities like shops and schools meaning 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.
