Building on this plot of land will increase the amount of traffic in the vicinity of Blackmore School. This area is already a dangerous spot when children are being dropped off/collected from school, and extra houses can only exacerbate the situation.
In addition, it is most likely that any developer will only be interested in building large "executive" houses to bring them maximum profit. If Blackmore village has to be extended, it should be by building smaller properties into which older existing residents can "down-size" or children of existing residents can afford to purchase.
Linked to the proposed building on land north of Orchard Piece, this would constitute an unacceptably high percentage increase in housing in the village.
Finally, Blackmore appears to have been unfairly chosen for additional housing, with several other Parishes escaping the LDP requirements. The infra-structure north of Brentwood is inadequate to support additional families/housing with the doctor's surgery and local school already full to capacity.
