Representation Summary:

(Changed from object to support as respondent is actually supporting the categorisation of the site as unreasonable in the GNLP)

I am supporting the planning officers decision to deem this site unreasonable on the following grounds; the roads in this area are narrow and single file. As there are no amenities such as shops and schools, private vehicle transport will increase on the backroads and will impact on the area around Strumpshaw Fen and will cause unnecessary harm to local wildlife and hedgerows (protected). It will also increase carbon emissions which conflicts with national law policy of reduction plans. It will also impact on public foot paths and therefore healthy lifestyles which is contrary to the NHS goals of better.
