I am supporting the planning officers’ decision to deem this site unreasonable on the following grounds; there has already been extensive building of residential dwellings in Strumpshaw and surrounding villages already. The impact on traffic has dramatically increased to the detriment of the village and the rural character has been spoiled as well as the environment. There are fewer opportunities for residents to enjoy the benefits of a village landscape and enjoy country walks and country living. Therefore, there is no need to continue building on the rural parts of the village remaining particularly when it doesn’t have the amenities to support it.
