Representation ID: 10998

Received: 14/12/2020

Respondent: Mrs Mairead Ritchie

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

The village cannot sustain a development of this size. We have a small.school, just lost our post office and no doctors. School Road already suffers from traffic congestion and this would make it worse. This is green belt land which is greatly used by residents and a much needed amenity. We cannot justify lifting it to make a developer rich. There are manybrownfield sites in the region which can be used.

Change suggested by respondent:

The plan does not take account the nature of small villages. Their unique community is destroyed by mass development.
