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 cars/pollution/congestion. Which is contrary to BBC strategic objectives and the government aims for reducing unnecessary journeys. Losing 2 large greenfield sites to houses means loss of wildlife habitat, some of which are protected. Surely planting trees to reduce CO2 emissions is better than building dwellings.
