Site AS1 does NOT meet the requirements for highway safety to protect pedestrians and other road users as defined in both NPPF and NHDC's own current and emerging planning policy for Highway Safety Policy T1) It is not possible to create a safe pedestrian access due to the sloping site and narrow roads.
There are other issues with protecting valued landscapes and the historic environment.
The process by which you are seeking responses is completely flawed. This form is almost impossible to engage with. The section under Soundness Test does not make sense and must have been drafted with the specific aim to make it impossible for most people to respond. There should be 'I don't know' buttons, not just Yes and No.
As for 'Appear at examination', I take it to mean that I could ask to come to the 'examination' but this again is not made clear. I suspect that the form has been designed to confuse people who quite legitimately would like to engage with the Local Plan, and to deter people from commenting.
