Q1: No - Not all areas seem appropriate.

Q2: Cannot comment on all areas.

Q3: Yes - Blackmore - This is an historic village. It is a village with a small school, which must already be under pressure, having had to take in the Travellers children. The doctors surgery is I would think under pressure too. There is no land to extend the school where it is.

Q4: Where there are towns not villages.

Q6: The fields in Blackmore should remain it's parcel of Green Belt. These have been used for grazing (cows and horses) and should remain as such for future use. The centre village has one shop and no ground for building on. Parking there is a problem from 8.30am each day onward.

Q7: Building in a town area seems to be the most sensible idea. Working people prefer to be near bus and train networks this is certainly not the case in Blackmore.

Q8: Yes - Certainly.

Q9: No, Blackmore is a small village but to start extending the population you would end up by having to build a larger school, more shops etc and end up turning this village who's history includes a 900 year old church and history of Henry VIII's son back here into a town.
