Q1: I understand the need for new homes and feel that any building sites need the infrastructure to cope with new families in the village of Blackmore. There are no companies that could accommodate the new families.

Q2: The Dunton Suburb will have the infrastructure to cope with the needs of the new families. Regarding schools, travelling to and from work, shopping and leisure.

Q3: Yes - Blackmore village is unique in being a rural village the impact of over 100 homes is not going to help the local community in any way. The infrastructure of the village roads to accommodate the huge increase in vehicles will make the small roads very unsafe and dangerous. The local school would be unable to cope with the extra children and new families would be struggling to get to trains to travel to work. As there are not any jobs in our local community and as a village we just wouldn't be able to cope, the appropriateness of Blackmore village is nil.

Q4: At the Dunton Garden Suburb construction the new families will have a lot more freedom to choose schools for their children, access to shopping centres and leisure facilities, with more job opportunities. The infrastructure already being in place for families to travel.

Q5: As already stated new families moving into new areas need access to a variety of needs it depends on transportation to access their ability to do this.

Q6: No - Apart from losing our countryside which is very important new families would struggle without the infrastructure of new schools, bus services, leisure facilities and new job opportunities.

Q7: Yes - The infrastructure already being in place gives the new families greater flexibility in finding a job.

Q8: Yes - Retail development in town centres is very important, creating jobs and economic growth.

Q9: No - Blackmore village's open space provision is more than adequate allowing families to enjoy recreational activities.

Q12: No - Blackmore village would be left in a dilemma, the roads, local school and bus services to our nearest towns would cause chaos. 100 new homes could mean at least 300 people. There is no infrastructure in place to accommodate so many people.

Q13: When considering new houses for families to live, schools, shopping, leisure and recreational facilities with wide access to allow families to travel within easy reach on appropriate roads is very important in locating new jobs as well.
