Site R26 is not suitable for development due to the following
Green belt land
Local services at full capacity
Housing development already in and around Blackmore being built
Redrose Lane is not suitable for the increased traffic
Site R26 and Redrose Lane are at risk of flooding
R26 has to be removed from the LDP as it is not suitable.
The provision for 20 new homes on R26 is ridiculous. The site is green belt land and should only be used after more suitable sites have been exhausted.
The local services including the village school is at full capacity along with the doctor's surgery which has a 3 week wait for appointments.
There is currently 66 new homes already being built or in advanced stages of planning in and around the surrounding area which are not considered in the LDP. All of these new homes will use Blackmore as a hub and therefore the already stretched services.
The only access to the site is via Redrose Lane which is an extremely narrow country lane with no footpath, hedges on either side and is prone to flooding. This road is not suitable for the increased traffic the development will cause.
