This proposal to increase the size of our village by 28.6% is very unwelcome, we currently have overloaded infrastructure and need major upgrades to all utilities, the proposal will increase the pressures on all these services, particularly as flooding is still very prevalent in the village; transport-severe parking problems exist currently in the village centre. There is no GP surgery, local school is at maximum. This is a Green Belt area, with protection, designed to give residents fresh air and recreational spaces.
This proposal to increase the size of our village by 28.6%is a very unwelcome development, we currently have overloaded infrastructure particularly in Blackmore and need major upgrades to all utilities, the proposal will increase the pressures on all these services, particularly as flooding is still very prevalent in the village; transport-severe parking problems exist currently in the village centre.
There is no GP surgery within the Parish boundary and the nearest Health Centre is working to maximum capacity.
Our village school is at maximum and need rebuilding to accommodate modern requirements.
The proposal to remove the only playing field area around Tipps Cross Remembrance Hall would force our youngsters on to the busy roads and be detrimental to the community.
This is a Green Belt area, with building protection, designed to give residents fresh air and recreational spaces, the proposal would take this away from us, putting far to much pressure on overloaded existing services and infrastructure.
It should be rejected.
