Take Blackmore out of the LDP as it was in a previous draft.

Blackmore is a small village with limited facilities. It has one shop transport links are very poor with the bus service very limited indeed cancelled at one time and has traffic problems.
The imposition of 70 houses is grossly excessive and also totally disproportional to the total required.
The infra structure is incapable of sustaining these new properties.
There is no strategy for villages and no housing needs survey has been done by the council.
In addition the plan uses greenbelt land despite the fact that brownfield sites are available.
The area is liable to flood and further building would only worsen this.
Lastly some natural habitat for the local wildlife would be lost.
Take Blackmore out of the LDP as it was in a previous draft. The infrastructure is plainly unable to cope with the addition of more houses as required in the LDP with the health centre and the school already at full capacity and the roads unable to cope with further traffic.
There are brownfield sites that are available that could be utilized rather than use greenfield ones.
BBC have not consulted with the other authorities in the area as to the effect their plans influence BBC's one.
Red Rose lane is clearly unsuitable for the additional traffic that would occur if the plan was implemented.
