Please make your comments in the box below. When referring to the schedule, please include the appropriate reference number e.g. MM1_AONB.
MM14_AONB
Amount of development: Maximum of 6 dwellings
Reason- The current landowner originally wanted to build 32 houses on the field, unless a maximum is specified the number of properties developed may increase significantly purely in pursuit of profit.
Point IV states “widening of Hollins Lane and the provision of a footway alongside it” this would mean the complete removal of the hedgerow. It is not clear how much of Hollins Lane would be affected, it would be difficult to widen the whole of the lane. Would widening the lane turn it into a road thus changing the character completely. Should the lane be widened along its length several residents would inevitably need to park on the road thus negating any safety aspect of widening the lane.
There is a need to protect and enhance public views across, through and out of the site particularly towards the north east this view would almost certainly be blocked by a new hedgerow and trees of appropriate species and species mix planted to form a new, robust and defensible boundary to the north! Each statement contradicts the other! If there is a genuine desire to maintain the views perhaps the development should be sited at the north end of the field which is much lower and will consequently detract little from the current view.
