Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

I object to this statement as Dunton Hills Garden Village site is not sustainable due to the size of the development. This is not sustainable due to the proposal being in a high flood risk area with no proper plan in place to mitigate against future flooding. It is also not sustainable in terms of infrastructure. The road network can not cope with current levels of traffic, let alone a development of this size. How this could reasonably be accommodated has not been evaluated. The rail network again can not cope with this size of development area. Generally the environmental impact is huge.

Change suggested by respondent:

The proposed development on this site the is simply too large. It is trying to focus significant build all in one area where it it not feasible to do so for some very practical reasons.
