Please add your response below, quoting the main modification reference number: (limit 3000 words)
In response to MM050 allocation of land at site RN213 Brigsteer I contend the plan is unsound. The Land Allocation DPD has excluded development in all small communities except Brigsteer, although there are no sustainable criteria for being made an exception. (No transport, shops, school, employment opportunities etc).
Secondly the Plan makes an exception due to “the degree of community support” for this proposal. Nothing could be further from the truth. A small number of people put this proposal through with NO consultation with the rest of the village. They had no meetings to which anybody was invited who were not members of the CLT, and a condition of membership requires that you cannot question the decision of the UNELECTED directors.
I would support very small development of affordable housing on an obvious local need basis but not a development of this scale, which increases the size of the village by almost 10% and would provide even more private housing with a high potential to be bought as second homes.
