Please explain your reasons
A housing development on RN109M would be completely isolated from the existing village because of the natural boundary created by the busy A590 trunk road. Children living here would not be free to access the village unsupervised and as a consequence would not become involved in village life.
Throughout the country villages have been bypassed and this is an inexplicable reversal of that policy.
It is clear that the rounding off process has been applied to the village but surely that process should be mitigated by the presence of the major trunk road.
The extra traffic using the Cross a Moor junction should in itself be sufficient reason to remove the “emerging option” status from this particular site and the sooner this is done the better, after which proper attention should be given to the much more suitable sites bordering Main Road.
