Representation Summary:

Blackmore cannot be compared to the other villages in category 3 (MG03 Settlement Hierarchy). This categorization must be reviewed. The village is incomparable to others listed in category 3, in terms of size, facilities, shops / resources, or connectivity (roads / public transport). This mis categorization is a flagrant attempt to justify the inclusion of R25 and R26, rendering MM5 unsound due to it not positively prepared, or justified. Having a primary school should not constitute category 4 status - it is necessary due to the remoteness of our village - unrelated to size!
