Representation ID: 5964

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Mrs Susan Collins

Representation Summary:

BU2/H SCALEBOR HOUSE
Principal objections:
This would be another large development to impact adversely upon the village and its environment.
Key impacts would be:
• Elimination of a largely open green area closely adjacent to the village and existing housing and with potential impact on the wider greenfield and Greenbelt areas
(no details are provided in the Development Plan of how the stated ‘distinct landscape setting will be conserved and enhanced’ will be achieved)
• High density housing and occupation, out of keeping with that of the adjacent former Scalebor hospital estate and other nearby properties
• Further adverse impact on local infrastructure and services. with few compensatory provisions – in particular on roads, village access and parking, public transport, schools and medical facilities
• A resultant total of 610 new residential units in the village – exceeding the Remaining Allocation Requirement of 541 units
