Q1: Yes.

Q2: Yes.

Q3: Yes - See answer to questions 5 and 6.

Q4: Agree with the comments especially in the light of the Dunton Garden Suburb proposal which would seem to be the ideal growth solution.

Q5: Yes - But only after careful consideration of the sites impact on the Green Belt.

Q6: No - Any development in respect of the villages should be contained within the existing envelopes of these villages which in almost all respects have reached their capacity for growth. That apart from a few brownfield sites within the existing village boundaries i.e. no encroachment onto the Green Belt. Site nos 76 and 77 on the outskirts of Blackmore are in the Green Belt and should therefore NOT be considered for development.

Q7: Yes - Essential for the growth of new business.

Q8: Yes - Essential for the benefit of the Town Centre's future.

Q9: No - Blackmore has over the years maintained and interested in open space provision which is now, to the credit of the Parish Council proved to be more than adequate.
