Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

I am emailing to submit objections to the proposals concerning IC1, IC2 & IC3 based on conflicts between the Local Plan and NHDC/national policies.

My concerns are:
* That all the sites listed above, the local plan in 'not sound' as it conflicts with National Planning Policy framework and conflicts with NHDC Strategic Objectives on Green Belt
* For site IC3 - the Local Plan is 'Not Sound' for the following reason: The consequent impact on the village conflicts with NHDC policy to protect and enhance the historic character of villages. This is one of the aspects I feel most strongly against- my son has just started at the Primary School and I feel that the upheaval of all the school children for the relocation of the school would be detrimental to their wellbeing and education. It would also destroy ties with the local St Katharine's Church, and stop the children being able to walk over for activities such as services. I feel this is an important part of teaching the school's core values, and would be a great shame for the children to lose character building activities they get so much enjoyment out of. It would also make it extremely difficult to have one child at the school and one at pre-school, and increase traffic through the village for school drop offs and pick ups.
* I feel that the build of site IC3 would negatively affect our home life and ability to enjoy the countryside around us. We are in the middle of a build at the end of Wyatt Close, and the contractors regularly start noisy work (illegally) before 8am despite our complaining directly to them. Given that this is a small build compared to the scope of proposed build, we can only imagine the noise disruption we will experience in the early morning, as the contractors obviously do not respect the regulations in place to protect local residents.
* For sites IC1 and IC3 - the Local Plan is 'Not Sound' for the following reasons: Evidence shows that the main sewer cannot cope with current demand, I have heard incidents of sewage spilling into residents' properties just on the current demand; IC1 and IC3 will add to this burden. It also conflicts with NHDC policies not to develop in areas prone to flooding, and to reduce the risk of flooding from new developments
* There has been a lack of proper consultation for sites IC3 and LS1 - the Local Plan is 'Not Legally Compliant' for the following reason: NHDC did not allow prior consultation on these sites
* For sites IC1, IC2, IC3 and LS1 - the Local Plan is 'Not Sound' for the following reason:  NHDC modelling is flawed as it does not account for increased traffic from Central Bedfordshire, and conflicts with NHDC policy on transport
* For sites IC1, IC2, IC3 and LS1 - the Local Plan is 'Not Sound' for the following reason:  Increased traffic pollution conflicts with NHDC policy on air quality
* For sites IC1, IC2, IC3 and LS1 - the Local Plan is 'Not Sound' for the following reason:  NHDC have not accounted for any impact associated with the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan
I look forward to hearing your responses.
