I write following the invitation for comment on the proposal to reconsider B79, B116 and B117 as extensions to the area proposed for development within the AONB
The sites in question are greenfield sites. I do not believe that these sites should be considered for development, particularly when there is a perfectly suitable brownfield site on Park Road ie the former Travis Perkins site. I believe that the site in question will meet the desired quota for housing adequately.
Including greenfield sites for development would set a dangerous precedent, potentially leading to the development of further greenfield sites in this or another AONB. The area is designated as AONB on account of the landscape and its picturesque surroundings. Development of such sites is, in my view, wholly inappropriate.
The width of and congestion at Yans Lane in the village will also make the creation of emergency access difficult and will undoubtedly lead to numerous problems with residents’ vehicles potentially hindering any emergency vehicles.
I therefore believe that these areas should not be included and that the Travis Perkins site should be considered for development.
