No clear strategy for villages, why Blackmore and not others that have no special historic centre. Other locations must be more sustainable and suitable. BBC has not consulted with neighbouring authorities, 30 homes on Fingrith Hall Lane. Blackmore Village is isolated, school is full, GP is 4 weeks for an appointment, parking in village in dangerous. Children and pensioners are at risk from this. Bus service is infrequent. More residents = more vehicles. More traffic will cause more air pollution bad for people and historic buildings. Sites are on Green Belt land, should use brownfield, not identified by BBC. Redrose Lane too narrow and floods severely, June 2016 floods across village. Sewers can't cope. Should increase densities on other proposed sites. Will increase village by 30%. Unauthorised travellers site will add to the impact on school, GP, local amenities. Has this been taken into account?
I believe that R25 and R26 should be removed from the LDP. Planners should refer to the Blackmore village Heritage Association "neighbourhood plan" which clearly sets out our local housing needs to avoid further development locally.
Refer to attached form. Objection to Blackmore sites R25 and R26.
