Plan is unsound.
It will put pressure on rural infrastructure.
The character of the village will be impacted. It is currently enjoyed by walkers, cyclists and horse riders.
It will put pressure on local lanes.
Bus services are infrequent.
Medical centre, shop and school also impacted adversely.
Other areas such as brownfield land should be developed first.
Refer to Blackmore Heritage Village Association Neighbourhood Plan.
I consider the plan as unsound for a variety of reasons. It will put pressure on a rural infrastructure. The character of the village will be impacted, currently it is enjoyed by local people and others who come to walk, bike ride, horse ride and run. Additional traffic due to increased car journeys will put pressure on local lanes, parking etc, especially as bus routes will not suit everyone's daily routines.
Medical centre, shop and school also impacted adversely.
The village is in designated 100% Green Belt land, other sites i.e. brownfield are available should be considered first. There should be efforts to protect the countryside for the benefit of all as it is fast disappearing in this area.
Proposed modifications:
