Object to sites R25 and R26.
Local GP services and schools are already struggling to cope. There is no consideration of increasing the GP services to cope with additional houses.
The access roads are not adequate to take the increased volume of traffic the extra homes will bring.
Flooding occurs in the area during heavy rainfall, building more homes will add to these problems.
Green Belt should be retained.
Remove sites R25 & R26 from the Local Plan. Planners should refer to the BVHA 'neighbourhood plan' which sets out our local housing needs and that the Blackmore community is already sustainable.
The Local GP services are struggling to cope as is more homes increases the demand but there is no consideration in increasing GP services. The school size as is well be unable to accept more children.
The access roads to the proposed building areas are not adequate to take the increased volume that the extra homes will bring.
When there is heavy rain in the area, flooding is a risk factor, building more homes can only aggregate this.
Green Belt should be kept as it is. There are more areas that should be left, other sites need to be looked into more.
The sites R25 and R26 should be removed from LDP and that planners should refer to the BVHA 'neighbourhood plan' which clearly sets out our local housing needs, as the Blackmore community is already sustainable.
