The immediate withdrawal of site R26.

The plan relating to Blackmore is unsound because:

Green belt land should be preserved and not used for building ground.

Parking in the village is already insufficient and is a struggle for residents. Blackmore has lots of visitors and the lack of parking already affects the economy hugely. More vehicles and need for parking would ruin the village and have a detrimental effect on the village, also making it less safe for local residents and children.

The facilities and services in the village will not cope with the additional residents and families coming into the village, it will become far too overcrowded.

The local primary school is already full at maximum capacity with a long waiting list, and will not be able to cope with a large influx of additional children. The school has insufficient extra ground to be able to extend its facilities to be able to accommodate for extra children. Neighbouring villages schools are also at maximum capacity.

The doctors surgery already struggles with the amount of local residents in the area as it is. It would not be able to cope with the needs and demands of a large number of additional residents. The waiting list is to be seen is already long, and this would only get worse and affect the service residents need.

Red Rose Lane is far too narrow for it to provide access to a busy housing estate and is prone to flooding.
