Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

I would like my objection to the above planning proposals be noted on the grounds that they are both Not Legally Compliant (IC3, LS1). Furthermore IC3 conflicts with NHDC strategic objectives on Green Belt, will put an increased burden on an already overworked sewerage system, is in an area prone to flooding, would cause an increase in local traffic density which in the Mornings and Evenings is already way beyond capacity causing long delays which will only increase. It can take a resident of Ickleford over half an hour to get from the village centre to the Wymondley by pass in the rush hours. I also object to the moving of the village school which will destroy the Heart of the village and in its self conflicts with the NHDC policy to protect and enhance the historic character of villages.
Both IC3 and LS1 sites are Not Sound as NHDC have not accounted for any impact associated with the Central Bedfordshire local plan.
LS1 will again increase the Traffic flow which as already mentioned above is at capacity. What happens when a resident of Ickleford needs to be rushed to the Lister Hospital during Rush Hour traffic? and this is a Hospital already operating at near maximum which is again expected to absorb the looking after yet more people because of an increase of 270 dwellings, or over 800 residents (IC3, LS1)
In Conclusion I feel that the addition of 270 more dwellings at IC3, LS1 will put a strain on all aspects of village live many of which are already operating at maximum or beyond.
