Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 20402

Received: 06/03/2020

Respondent: Mr Timothy Bishop

Representation Summary:

Strumpshaw does not have any services or facilities to deal with further increase in residential dwellings.
Access to shops, employment, schools etc. will be by car, increasing reliance on a transport mode inconsistent with sustainability plans and environmental aims.
Roads serving the site are narrow and unacceptable from a Highways perspective.
Following recent developments there is no need for further housing and there are more preferable locations for development to take place. This proposal will destroy the existing form and rural character of the area and impact well being.
Creation of access would result in removal of an ancient hedgerow.
