Representation ID: 20505

Received: 08/03/2020

Respondent: Mr Clive Rushmer

Representation Summary:

1. Field floods - increasing rainfall with climate change and concreting over land will only make this worse.
2. Road safety and increased traffic. Especially when A47 is closed and traffic rerouted.
3. The church vista, in the strategic gap would be compromised.
4. Plan is outside the existing settlement boundaries.
5. The capacity of the village to cope with an increased population. Higher volume of cars, pressure on school and three local medical practices.
6. Loss of agricultural land and mature trees. No mention of plans for footpath.
7. Ambiguous nature of plan.
