This site does not meet the NHDC planning policies as it does not maintain or enhance the character or visual quality of the village or the surrounding area.
The development will impose on the village and impact upon views from Ashwell Church and Arbury Banks and be an unsightly incursion into the rural scene.
Access is inadequate and unsafe. The only public path has steps and is impossible for the elderly and disabled.
The village's infrastructure cannot sustain a development of this size.
There is sufficient available land within the village boundary to provide for the needs of the village.
