Full text:

The Blackhorse Farm site in the plan will be a new settlement, with new infrastructure required and the updating of old, requiring the destruction of natural habitat and a burden on the existing environment and structures. This does not satisfy the requirement of 'effective use' of land by re-using land that has been previously developed. The plan clearly contravenes the whole 'Sustainable Community Strategy' encouraged by the National Planning Policy Framework. The allocated site does not promote and improve the economic, social and environmental wellbeing of the area
