Object to BK3:contravene national policy, road safety, infrastructure, sewerage, traffic, impact on rural community, lack of services,
We are writing to express to express our concerns and objections to the plan to build 140 new homes outside the permitted boundary of our village. Barkway has already grown considerably since 2011 and accommodated new housing developments to support the National Planning Policy. This proposal however, given its size and location, would appear to contravene that policy. It will not be part of the village and the increase in traffic would pose a serious risk on a road that has already seen fatalities in recent years.
The current infrastructure could not absorb this increase in population, specifically the highways, sewer system, employment and transport. It would have a detrimental effect on our rural community and a negative impact on the surrounding environment.
Barkway has no doctor, dentist or local shop. The public transport of one bus a day is woefully inadequate to support the current residents. There are no local jobs and this plan does nothing to address any of these issues. Simply put it would have a negative effect on the village, it's residents and the surrounding area.
I trust you will give take these concerns seriously in your decision making.
