There is no strategy for villages, including Blackmore. Instead of seeking to deliver sustainable growth in accordance with national and regional policy, the Plan seeks to destroy small villages with unsustainable housing growth. Additional housing should be focussed on suitable and sustainable areas such as urban extension to Brentwood.
- Produce a clear housing strategy for the villages; explain why small villages with stretched capacity are preferred to more suitable and sustainable locations.
- Consult with neighbouring authorities to determine the full impact of additional housing.
- More suitable sites could and should have been identified.
- Demonstrate that the required housing number cannot be met by increasing density on other suitable sites.
- Confirm this field is not crucial in managing rain water levels.
