In reference to site 100: Mount Dairy Farm. It sits to the rightmy property boundary and Planning permissions have recently been given for a development to the rear for an imposing extension,now under construction. I only took residence 18 months ago and am very worried that now a second, even more imposing,light restricting,privacy stealing development will take place. Mount Dairy Farm is part the local heritage. The land sits on higher ground, newbuild will therefore cast a south-east shadow over all of my garden if built within 10 meters of boundary. Not to mention the possibility streams of rainwater running onto Archer Drive in heavy downpours where gardens already get bogged. I believe any further development to build on site 100 will take away from it's current rural appearance and add to the urban sprawl. I am also concerned that it's being ringfenced as an Amber site would be developer driven with financial rewards the ultimate incentive.
