Legally compliant? Not specified
Sound? No
For the VISION and STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES to be meaningful, sound and effective, they have to be rigorously applied throughout the Plan. The allocations in Blackmore (R25 and R26) fail BBC's own 'tests', in particular:
• Blackmore is the most remote Village in the entire Borough
• Existing (and future) residents are, and will remain, totally dependent on personal motorised means of transport
• An additional 70 homes will likely mean an additional 1,000 plus traffic movements per day (including the increasing frequency of delivery vehicles, for food and other shopping)
• All leading to increased pollution levels
• There will be a significantly negative impact on biodiversity, if two green fields, in the Green Belt, are developed
• MM1 and MM2 are rendered unsound (not effective and not positively prepared), should R25 and R26 remain in the LDP
