Number of significant adverse effects to developing Site 4.
Only reason for selection of site is proximity to Whitlocks End Station.
Dickens Heath village has increased from original design of 850 dwellings to approx. 1800 today. Roads and infrastructure have not been improved to accommodate vast increase in dwellings.
Difficult to make road improvements due to narrow rural roads, hedgerows and parking problems in village centre.
Protected species on site.
Land is heavy boulder clay and liable to flooding.
Loss of village character and identity.
Lanscape sensitive to development.
Loss of playing fields with no alternative proposals submitted.
Would support inclusion of SHELAA Site 130 only.
Agree Akamba site should be retained.
Significant objection by local residents.
Disproportionate scale of development in Blythe ward.
Loss of Green Belt, which Government has committed to protecting.
Lower performing Green Belt should be chosen instead.
Site would not be accessible location to Dickens heath village services.
Loss of wildlife habitat of high ecological value.
Loss of historic landscape.
