I feel that Blackmore is a small remote village with poor road connections and limited infrastructure. Blackmore is not suitable for commuting into London as we are far away from any towns/railway stations and the closest only have limited parking facilities. Bus connections are poor due to our narrow country lanes and car travel is essential to get from A to B. So more houses would cause more cars/pollution/congestion. We are also limited on the number of local schools available for children travelling to and from. This is contrary to BBC strategic objectives and the Government aims for reducing unnecessary journeys. Adding more houses, more cars to the village would impact on local wildlife, meaning loss of habitat to badgers, foxes, voles, deer and hedgehogs.
