Object on the following grounds:
highway safety grounds;
landscape value;
impact on the historic environment; and
failure to consult on extension to settlement boundary.
I would like to object to the proposed development off Claybush Road in Ashwell, Hertfordshire. I am a local resident and feel the proposal is flawed on a number of levels in relation to national planning policy. Please see my objections below:
* Site AS1 fails to meet the requirements for highway safety to protect pedestrians and other road users as defined in both National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and NHDC's own current and emerging planning policy for Highway Safety (Policy T1).
* Site AS1 fails to meet the requirements to protect valued landscapes. The site is within the North Baldock Chalk Uplands Character Area and development is restricted under National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and NHDC's own local planning policy, both current and emerging.
* Site AS1 fails to meet the requirements to protect the historic environment. The site is within the setting of the scheduled ancient monument Arbury Banks and is protected by NPPF and NHDC policy (SP13, para 4.151).
* NHDC has failed to consult on the proposals to extend the settlement boundary in locations other than AS1 (within which there would be a presumption in favour of development; Policy SP2) and has not responded adequately to previous representations.
I hope the proposal will be refused on these grounds.
