Agree with the need for more housing but feel that the number of homes being suggested for Blackmore Village is out of proportion to the size of the village and could upset the balance of the village. Perhaps one of the sites could be developed with the other being left for the future if necessary thereby reducing the impact. Developments of this nature are all very relevant but should not overshadow the need to maintain what we already have, for example the dreadful condition of the road, pavement, kerb and verges in Meadow Rise (Blackmore Road side).
