Draft Local Plan-Part 2 Site Allocations

Representation ID: 20890

Received: 11/03/2020

Respondent: Stephanie Amey

Representation Summary:

I am opposed due to the issues with flooding caused by the recent new development in the Hops. This has caused significant flooding to houses along Seamere Road. The farmland below The Hops is also badly affected by flooding.

The road crossings will be/are dangerous for pedestrians as it is not possible (due to protected trees ) to put footpath in alongside the Hops frontage.

The council's premise of distance from the village centre is wrong as they have taken the village centre as The COOP. This is not the centre of the village. The village centre is the Marketplace and the Fairland, so any argument about the Site GNP0520 being close to the village centre is not valid.
