Full text:

* Further to the hundreds of previous objections to this site, here is another in relation to the Claybush Road site in Ashwell
* Claybush Road is a high speed road, with poor lines of visibility when approaching the village, and has no pavements. This 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).
* 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.
As a village, Ashwell has proposed alternative, more appropriate sites for development - and despite all of these consultation processes, has so far been roundly ignored.
