Please add your response below, quoting the further proposed main modification reference number or relevant document title including reference to section / page / paragraph: (limit 3000 words)
I refer to Site MM087 - Land East of Hutton Close. I refer to the comments of Mr Peter Smith and in particular the issue of access.
There is no suggestion that the footpath to the south be removed. Mr Smith has misunderstood the concern raised which was not the road entrance but the width of the road on the first bend where it narrows slightly. It has been established that the road can easily be widened at this point without sacrificing any footpaths if Highways deem it necessary.
Further Mr Smith fails to point out that there are in fact two footpaths ( one already approved by SLDC ) serving this site and other properties to the north directly into the village and the need for a third footpath onto the Bridleway would be superfluous since as pointed out by Mr Smith the pedestrian would have to climb a hill only to walk down again to get to a similar point already accessible using the existing level footpaths.
