Overcrowding of a historic, quaint villiage at risk of changing for the worse. Overcrowding will affect the roads, school numbers, GPS, value to property, possible flood risk, greenbelt land with possible affect to wildlife. A huge shame for this perfect village. I planned to move back to Blackmore when my child is 2 years old for the school and quality of life. This large development would make me look elsewhere. Blackmore will become less attractive to many people.
Here a few concerns I have over the proposed plans in place for the historic village of Blackmore.
This number of houses would totally over load the schools and GP's.
Will the sewerage system be designed for such an increase in population?
It will certainly ruin the character of this historic village.
Will it destroy wildlife habitats?
I regularly travel to Blackmore to visit the tea rooms and pub and the development would ruin the character of the village.
Green belt land should be protected.
There are already parking issues in the village which would be made worse.
The country lanes would be overwhelmed by such a large development.
I know that the area suffers from flooding and building such a large development would increase the very real risk of flooding to the area.
