The village is already prone to flooding and the village school is already oversubscribed, adding additional houses will add significantly to the problem. There is a lack of public transport. Increasing a small village quite considerably making it in to a large village with potential loss of a community feeling. The current fields are bordered by a very narrow and historical lane and the impact of more cars can only cause potential traffic problems and major alteration of the existing roads.
We would like to register an objection to the considerable number of new houses proposed within Blackmore and Tipps Cross. My objection is based on a number of reasons that, unless the Council demonstrates irrevocable plans to address, will seriously impact the existing village These reason are:- The village is already prone to flooding, building on fields that help absorb some of the water can only make matters worse. The village school is already oversubscribed, adding additional houses will add significantly to this problem. As any new scheme must include affordable housing, the lack of suitable public transport will cause difficulties to these households. Increasing a small village quite considerably making it in to a large village with potential loss of a community feeling. The current fields are bordered by a very narrow and historical lane and the impact of more cars can only cause potential traffic problems and major alteration of the existing roads.
