Remove the proposals R25 for development in Blackmore village

1. Plan unsound - no clear strategy. R25 & R26 previously deemed 'unsuitable for development'

2. No prior consultation with affected residents

3. No Housing needs Survey to assess demand

3. R25 & R26 unsuitable for residential development - flooding, poorly access road, undue strain on services

4. Village already congested in its centre (mainly parking), development will exacerbate problem.

5. Already poor transport links strained further by extra dwellings

6. No account of developments in adjacent boroughs, or evidence of consultation with those Councils

7. No evidence alternative sites (Brownfield/other parishes) has been properly examined. Development appears developer-led.
