Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 20393

Received: 06/03/2020

Respondent: Mr Hilary Hammond

Representation Summary:

I support the GNLP conclusions that this is not a reasonable site because Strumpshaw has already had some 40 additional dwellings built in 2019/20 or currently under construction; and because the sewage system is already inadequate. The scale of development proposed on this site is inappropriate for the size of Strumpshaw and would change the settlement from being rural to being suburban. Access to the site is poor along narrow roads. It is also adjacent to a closed landfill site.
