The area is prone to flooding and will be worsened if the development goes forward. The local services and infrastructure - school, doctor surgery, roads, drainage, parking - are already at capacity. Public transport is very limited. Limited employment opportunities in the village. No consideration of the developments in neighbouring authorities. The original draft Plan discounted Blackmore as it did not align with the councils strategy, and this has not changed.
The moving of 25 and R26 sites out of the LDP could be mitigated by increasing the numbers of properties built at Dunton Garden Village. This occurred with the transfer of 260 properties to DGV in amendment I of the extraordinary council on 8th November 2018. This was done because the access to the properties down Honeypot Lane which is bounded by historical hedges, deep ditches and no change of a pavement for pedestrians. 70 houses could be included into the urban area by increasing density of development in areas where both transport and employment lines are far superior to R25 and R26.
