The infrastructure (roads) and services (schools and GP surgeries) are at capacity. There were be significant disruption to residents in the area during construction. The site is Green Belt and should be protected.
I object to both sites due a number of reasons. 1. Infrastructure - Redrose Lane is a 'lane' used by numerous people. Walkers, runners, walking dogs, horse riding & bike riders. This lane is inappropriate for the level of traffic for 96 homes. This will destroy the ability for people to enjoy the countryside. 2. Disruption - This will cause major disruption for existing residents who live beside the 2 sites over the several years of work. 3. Surgery - As it currently stands the surgery at Deal Tree Centre is at its full capacity in the parish. Adding these additional homes it will male it more difficult for residents to get appointments to see their GP. 4. School - Blackmore School is at its maximum capacity. 5. Green Belt - both sites are grazing areas and are home to Wild Life. Taking away the hedge rows, cutting trees down will destroy their habitat. This is so important to their country side and their food chain. We should be encouraging Wild Life - not taking it away. Blackmore will become a town and not a village. I cannot see how these will be affordable homes for young people who have brought up in the area. only 'winners' will be the builders who will rent or sell as a part-buy housing scheme.
