Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 20317

Received: 04/03/2020

Respondent: Dr Ann Lahiff

Representation Summary:

I am supporting the planning officers' decision to deem this site unreasonable. The area is divorced from the settlement and distant from limited local facilities. The village itself does not have services. It would require total reliance on cars, which is inconsistent with local authority sustainability plans. Vehicular access would be down a narrow road which has already seen an increase in traffic due to housing development in the same area. Flood risk is high.
