As a resident of Blackmore for many years I am at a loss to know how the local infrastructure will cope with the additional housing proposed. Currently the village is served by a temporary bus service, a poor broadband facility (currently under review by BT) one general store with limited space when requiring postal services.
We have noticed an increased tendency to floods in the village and waste services are at full capacity with a number of blockages to drains.
The village school is at full capacity with no potential to extend the facilities to accommodate further children. The surrounding schools are in a similar positions (I know this as my wife is a Head Teacher in one of the neighbouring village schools and she is having to increase her capacity at present as the villages are at breaking point for school places.
I also attended the meeting a few years ago when it was proposed to build on these sites with Housing Association partnership and it was refused following consultation with the residents and those reasons have not changed.
My concerns are solely with the facilities currently available to the Blackmore residents and I have not seen anything in the proposals to address and improve or add to the current provision to accommodate the proposed increase.
