Representation Summary:

The LDP states that 'permission will only be granted if there is sufficient appropriate infrastructure capacity'. In the case of sites R25 and R26 (Blackmore) there is insufficient capacity in the local primary school to accommodate children from another 70 houses, likely around 30 children, whereas the school is already overcapacity and has a waiting list, and there is no room to extend the school further. Also the sewage infrastructure currently cannot cope with the current housing levels, so that will clause further sewage overflows into the clean water system. Also the roads are inadequate to cope with more traffic.
