Representation ID: 21060

Respondent: Mr Marcus Hemsley
I supporting the planning officers’ decision to deem this site unreasonable, and object to any future development on the following grounds:
1. Lack of local facilities: We have had enough growth in recent years and can't cater for any more
2. Increased Private Car use: This is against the local authority's sustainability plans
3. Neighbourhood plan: Out of keeping with neighbourhood plan - going against local residents' wishes.
4. Highway Safety: Unsafe for children to walk to the nearest school because there are no streetlights either making it unsafe to walk back in winter when it is dark.
I supporting the planning officers’ decision to deem this site unreasonable, and object to any future development on the following grounds:
1. Lack of local facilities: Strumpshaw does not have the services and facilities to deal with further increase in residential dwellings - there’s no school or even any shops
.
2. Private Car use: New residents will have to drive to shops, and to take their children to school. This significantly increases reliance on the private car, which is inconsistent with local authority sustainability plans.
3. Neighbourhood plan: Out of keeping with neighbourhood plan - going against local residents' wishes.
4. Safety: Unsafe for children to walk to the nearest school because there are no streetlights either making it unsafe to walk back in winter when it is dark. It is highly unlikely new residents with children would walk to Lingwood - again, increasing reliance on the private car.
