The building of 40 houses on greenbelt land in the ancient village of Blackmore does not fit with planning policy requirements. This unneeded commercial development will change the nature of the environment and the quality of life that has acted as a pleasant relief to visitors from nearby urban environments. This relief is being eroded by constant development sprawl.
Specifically it is against item 2.10 in the LDP Settlement Hierarchy Chapter stating "Development should be appropriate to the rural setting of the area" - this clearly is not.
This element of the plan should be abandoned and deleted.
