Looks to be countryside that should be left as it is, not destroyed.

The amount of housing proposed in this latest plan simply does not chime with the lack of facilities in the community.
1. Vastly overstrestched health faciilites
2. No resident police - not even a PCSO
3. Roads continually suffering from potholes
4. Linchfileld Road not at all suitaable for increased volume of vehicles
5. Community resources already under pressure
6. Eating up valuable agricultural space
7. No regard for biodiversity and wildlife
8. Inadequate leisure facilities
9. Broadgate Lane totally unsuitable or any more traffic
10. Risks massive overcrowding of small roads in the old part of the village
11. Footpaths currentrly used by locals abd dog walkers
12. Undermining the setting of the Priory Church

Support the continued allocation of the site.
Although some changes have been made to the wording of the allocation in light of comments submitted to the consultation exercise, not all of those comments have been addressed.
• Principle A - It is not clear why a comprehensive masterplan is required.
• Principle C - Access is already provided from Birthorpe Road, resulting from the delivery of the allotments subject to consent S14/1316/OUT
• Principle D - No response has been made to our request for clarification of the meaning of “Good Use”. The outline consent (S14/1316/OUT) indicated that access would be from the existing access to Birthorpe Road.
• Principle F - The length of the hedge should be identified to avoid potential confusion as and when a planning application is submitted.
• Principles G and H indicate that the site is within both an area of Biodiversity Opportunity and Green Infrastructure, although there is no justification for identifying the land as either of these designations.
The site assessment should be updated to address previous comments on Agricultural Land Classification, Surface Water Drainage, and Source Protection Zone.
