The inclusion of sites R25 and R26 in the LDP fails to meet the BBC’s own strategic objectives and vision for the borough.
The needs and concerns of the local community have been ignored, including the threat of increase in flooding and pollution, both sewage and increased traffic.

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. Also losing 2 large fields to houses means loss of wildlife habitat, which contains badgers, foxes, voles hedgehogs.

Blackmore has not a good bus service in and out of the village. Car travel is essential. Also poor or non-existent railway station unless one has a car. More houses means more pollution / car congestion. Losing two fields is loss of habitat for animals as well as hedgerows for birds.

For the VISION and STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES to be meaningful, sound and effective, they have to be rigorously applied. The allocations in Blackmore (R25 and R26) fail your tests:
• Blackmore is the remotest village in the entire Borough
• Existing (and future) residents are over-dependent on motor vehicles
• More houses equals more cars, more deliveries, more vehicle movements generally and significantly increased pollution
• There will be a significant negative impact on biodiversity, if two green fields, in the Green Belt, are lost
• MM1 and MM2 are rendered unsound (not effective and not positively prepared), should R25 and R26 remain in the plan

Blackmore is a remote village on the northern boundary of the BBC.
It has no commercial or industrial area to provide employment for incoming residents.
No rail link and poor bus service. Use of car is essential. More houses means more cars and more journeys resulting in increased pollution and congestion contrary to BBC strategic objectives and the governments aims for reducing unnecessary journeys.
Losing 2 fields to houses means the destruction of the wildlife habitat.

Most of the reasons for objection have already been covered in previous reviews. They are still valid, overcrowding of a village and standing amenities. A reduction of 10 homes is pathetic, as is the idea of using Orchard Piece as an access road. A quiet road will be no more. I imagine this was thought about and rejected 40 years ago when this road was developed.

Blackmore is a small isolated village with no bus or rail service, so everyone living here needs to use cars to get around. Although the stated objectives of the Council and the Government is to reduce congestion and pollution by discouraging more car journeys. This plan goes 180 against that by putting a big development in a small village and force more cars on the broken down road system.

Due to poor public transport and being a remote village, Blackmore isn't suited to commuting. This means the only way to travel will be by car. More houses will cause more cars and therefore more congestion, cars and pollution, contrary to government aims to reduce unnecessary journeys. Furthermore to the climate impact of the construction of houses on two fields will be loss of habitat for wild animals.

The proposal is unsound because it has not taken into consideration the feelings and views of the current local population on things such as:
- More homes will equal more people in the village, with more more cars and more pollution. We want Blackmore to stay as a village.
- Doctors appointments and school services are already under substantial pressure without additional residents.
- Money needs to be spent on the current infrastructure not new housing.

The proposal of more homes in the village of Blackmore would necessitate more cars, more cars means more pollution. Government objectives are to reduce pollution, not add to it. Access roads in and out of the village are not adequate for present commuting. Access via Orchard Piece is not realistic. Losing two green belt fields would be highly detrimental to wildlife.

The remote nature of Blackmore necessitates car/van travel in most cases. The bus service that does exist is poor and this used infrequently. development such as that proposed will increase car usage and general vehicular movement in/out and around the village. The roads into/out of and through Blackmore are, in many instances narrow. Parking is often a problem in some roads causing roads to become even narrower when double parked. The loss of 2 large fields would have a significant effect on wildlife habitat.

Blackmore is a small but sustainable village served by a network of rural roads. (no cycle lanes, no pavements outside the inner village area). No rail access and limited bus service.
Development of this size (70 houses) has not been identified or meets local residents needs. It will generate additional vehicle movement, congestion and pollution. Making an access via Orchard Piece is totally inappropriate as this small estate already experiences parking and access problems. Any additional traffic will cause chaos and be a safety hazard. All this is opposite to the BBC owns aims and contra to Government guidelines to reduce unnecessary travel.

Blackmore is a small and beautiful village and risks becoming over developed if schemes such as this are granted. More housing and therefore more people moving into this village puts undue pressure on the limited amenities Blackmore offers, namely a local shop and small primary school which couldn't cope, particularly the school which is already over subscribed and at capacity. Extra housing also means more cars and pollution and a busier road network in what is a quiet place to live. We moved here to be near to essential amenities an towns but wanted to bring our family up on a peaceful, rural location and we are concerned that if any more development of this scale is allowed then Blackmore will no longer be a safe, tranquil, small community but a village plagued with unnecessary pressure and housing, becoming too built up, noisy and suburbanised.
