Dear Sirs,
Re: modification ref MM050
I would like to make known that it is my opinion and the general opinion of the many residents of Brigsteer that I have had chance to discuss the matter with that the development of the land known as plot RN213, in the centre of Brigseer, for housing, whether affordable or not, is not desired. I have not found any evidence of the 'overwhelming support' referred to in the MM050 summary as one of the principal reasons that the development of this plot was not rejected. I also attended the meetings, in the village hall, where there was a great deal of 'ovewhelming' concern that this plot be developed and the consequent effect on village life. It would appear that there has been a misinterpretation of the villagers desire that affordable housing be made available in Brigsteer, but most definitely not on plot RN213.
I would also like to add that no alternative arguments for plot RN213 have been aired that I am aware of, but, as the landowner would appear to have philanthropic intentions, I suggest the plot would be ideally situated for a children's playgound/village recreation facility. Then, when a more acceptable plot is found for the affordable housing project, at least there would be a few more facilities to offer a growing and potentially younger community.
