Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

I wish to register my objection to the above plan.
Plan BK3 is disproportionate to the National Planning Policy Framework, and as such should be rejected by NHDC.
NHDC has indeed previously rejected this site for development!
Nothing has changed regarding it's suitability from when NHDC made that decision.
On the plan BK3 there is only one entrance and exit point onto an already busy Royston road. This is used by the village residents to get to Royston. It is also used by the surrounding villages as a RAT RUN to get to the A10 and Royston.
There certainly would be accidents at this blind junction but even more concerning is that there are no pavements on BK3 side of the road and children would be at risk of been knocked down and heaven forbid killed.
The Barkway amenities could not support this increase in population that this number of houses would cause.
This contravenes many NPPF policies and NHDC can not ignore these facts.

The local Barkway Plan submitted by the Parish Council is well planned well thought through and in keeping with the size and amenities of this rural village.
It looks to expand the village proportionally and in keeping with its rural aspects.
