Blackmore fails the tests set by the BBC for their strategic objectives. Blackmore is too remote, and car dependency is already high. Local road infrastructure is poor and the additional vehicles and journeys created by 70 new homes will create dangerous conditions on narrow roads used frequently by cyclists and pedestrians. There is an existing high level of flood risk that will be exacerbated by the developments, which renders surrounding roads impassable with increasing frequency, restricting access for emergency services. The proposals are unsound and not positively prepared, and important representations have not been sufficiently considered.
