Object to BK3 on the grounds of:
- infrastructure
- traffic
- character of the village
- breach of national and local policies
- number of new houses is disproportionate to the size of Barkway
- lack of local amenities will mean car use
- separation and access of new housing to village - community integration
I feel strongly that the above development should not take place as it will put too much pressure on the existing infrastructure of the village, especially increasing traffic within the village. It will change the character of the village enormously. Moreover, the NHDC is breaching national and local policies with this development.
This many new houses clustered at the north of the village is disproportionate to the size of Barkway, which numbered 329 houses in 2011, and will pose serious traffic dangers. Due to a lack of local amenities each adult will need a car. The estate will also be separated from the rest of the village without clear access to it, which could lead to low integration of the residents within the rest of the community.
