Representation Summary:
Blackmore is a remote village with poor road connections and is distant from towns/railway stations, bus service is poor and not suitable for commuting. Car travel is essential to get anywhere if you reside in Blackmore, so more houses means more car/pollution/congestion. Which is contrary to BBC strategic objectives and the government aims for reducing unnecessary journeys.
Also losing 2 large fields to houses means loss of wildlife habitat, which contain bats, newts, badgers, foxes, voles, hedgehogs. Plus increasing the already bad flood risk.
