I object to the LDP plans covering Blackmore for the following reasons;
Increasing the number of dwellings by 28% will have a considerable impact on what is a small historic village.
The proposed sites are green belt
The proposed sites will run along a narrow historic lane which was used to bypass plaque victims.
Red Rose Lane is used by many horse riders and there is a livery stable along it at Wells Farm.
The increased traffic in the village will have a detrimental impact on village life.
the village is a mecca for cyclist at the weekend which benefits local business's as the roads are relatively quiet and this may stop if the traffic increases.
The sites proposed are effectively marshland and frequently flood.
Drainage in the village is poor and increased surface water drainage required may overwhelm the current facilities.
There is little public transport and this will limit those without their own vehicles.
The mobile library service is now almost stopped
The local school is almost at full capacity and little room for expansion.
The nearest GP surgery is also almost at capacity.
Using green belt land will alter the agricultural nature of this historic village.
There is virtually no mobile signal and broadband speeds are below average..
There will be significant disruption to village life whilst the construction is taking place.
