(Changed from object to support as respondent is actually supporting the categorisation of the site as unreasonable in the GNLP)
It is not necessary to build here - the council already has land supply elsewhere and there is no need at all to spoil the village and the lives of the residents living here by putting pressure on the village infrastructure.
I am supporting the planning officers’ decision to deem this site unreasonable on the following grounds; the village is traditional, offering a village community. There is evidence to confirm that the infrastructure is already at limits with the recent episodes of flooding in the village and the closing of local amenities that have been affected by this (and we have few amenities as it is). Current local residents should not be subjected to further strain through increase on sewerage and drainage that unnecessary building of more residential dwellings will bring when the council already has a 5 year land supply elsewhere that they could focus on instead.
