Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

Objections to be noted are based on the current infrastructure of the village in the first instance with the proposed site having poor access which is situated at the crest of a hill on heath lane which will lead to a serious risk to highway safety. The developer has already posted on their web site that they intend to build 200 homes 60 more than NHDC has purposed. 200+ new vehicles attempting to enter the B656 from heath lane will cause an unacceptable strain on the current road network and will be a serious risk to highway safety. Increased traffic on the B656 through the village to all purposed sites will be a serious risk to highway safety and cause congestion the the current highway will not be capable of handling. On these factors alone I believe the site to be unsuitable. Further objection is based on the current primary school which does not have the capacity to cater for 400+ new families. Objection is made that NHDC are attempting to use green belt land when within the district there is sufficient brown field sites for housing. Objection is made that current housing will suffer an unacceptable loss of light and overshadowing of the properties and further more unacceptable overlooking and loss of privacy.
