I believe that the local plan impacting Ickleford village need reviewing.

My concerns are made in a personal capacity and centre on the lack of consultation and conflict with existing policy.

On sites IC1, IC2 & IC3 the local plan is " Not Sound" as it conflicts with National Planning Policy Framework and the NHDC Strategic Objectives on the Green Belt.

Also I believe Green Belt can only be used in "exceptional circumstances" and that has yet to be proven in this case.

On site IC3 and LS1 the local plan is not legally compliant as there was no consultation on these sites.

Also on site IC3 relocating the school is "Not Sound" as it would destroy the centre of the village, contrary to the NHDC policy to protect historic villages.
