We write to give our objections to the unheralded and late inclusion of SP2 in the Local Plan despite its being rejected by the NHDC Planning Committee in August 2016.
Chapters 4 & 13 Policy SP2.The plan is not sound - no thought given to matters as public transport, schooling, shops and narrow lanes creating havoc for unrehearsed motorists.
The NHDC does not comply with NPPF as no thought has been given to flood risk. Any development on the site would also be deleterious to the scenic beauty of the site.
The Council's Strategic Flood Risk Assessment recognizes the site's high risk of surface water flooding.
Your Planning Committee determined that sustainable drainage would have unacceptable visual impact upon the site and the application was refused.
All in all it appears that the Local Plan has ignored the people of Whitwell who better know the site. Thames Water state that there is a lack of sewerage capacity!
Last, the Local Plan Preferred Option allocated the site for Green Belt. What justification does NHDC have for its change of mind?
We consider earnestly that the SP2 should be removed from the Local Plan.
