Once you start building in Green Belt land it will be the trend for the future as the population will always be increasing so there will be more demand for building houses.

A small village like Blackmore can accommodate small developments but a large development of new housing would not be suitable. We have no Sunday or evening buses, only one small shop and post office. A school that is not very big and has no room for expansion. The traffic through Blackmore has increased considerably and there is a parking problem already. Blackmore is a lovely village, once spoilt there is no going back!

S1 2.15 We wish to object that Blackmore has been classed as a larger village meaning the Borough would consider it offers the most scope for development. Although we have a small primary school, there are very limited number of shops (definitely not a parade), no health facilities and public transport is very poor. The facilities are very limited and would not be sufficient to cater for the any large development. We would therefore consider Blackmore should be in settlement category 4 2.16 Smaller Villages.

CP10 Greenbelt
We strongly object to Blackmore being excluded from the Greenbelt as we feel it is a perfect example of an unspoilt rural village that should be protected as stated in section 3.37
