Part of Site BL1 (parcel south of Tythe Barn Lane) objected to on number of grounds:
Loss of Blythe character of distinct villages in countryside:
- Loss of character and identity as Site BL1 outside of confined, identifiable village boundaries
- Original Dickens Heath village assessed at 1991 UDP Public Inquiry; Material consideration that at subsequent UDP Inquiries (1995 and 2004) additions or additional growth to village were rejected and original form of village confirmed.
- Site would be isolated and un-connected to the Village, and be outsides of Village’s built-up area, both physically and visually (see Council’s Landscape Assessment Jan 2019
- Dickens Heath village would no longer be a ‘special identifiable place’
- Conflicts with Para. 127(d) of NPPF, as it would be isolated and not part of contained village boundaries.
