I wish to object to the current Local Plan for Barkway housing developments BK3 BK2 & BK1. My main objections are firstly that to increase the number of dwellings from circa 350 to 520, an increase of circa 50%.

The current school could not easily take the increase in students, resulting in a requirement for the use of a car/bus.
Barkway in a small historic village with little transport links nor amenities.

In recent times the increase of transport from the quarry in Anstey has put a strain on all roads through Barkway. Since which there have been several issues with roads, being damage to culvert and sizeable car killing pot holes. More traffic from the housing would push the road quality to the limit.

I could go on quoting my personal objections but will end for now with these plans appear to be breaching several NHDC national & local policies as highlighted in detailed by our Parish Council.
