Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

The land in question is farm land, set aside or otherwise it is still farm land and unsuitable for this a very non agricultural development.
The development is not in keeping with stylistic context of the local area.
Availability of essential services are not good.
Site access is on the concave of a bend / curve, requiring vehicles to pull onto the road to gain full visabilty in both directions.
Should this be allowed to proceed, it will set a precedent for similar proposals and the site could expand into the rest of the land.

i believe this proposal is flawed in a number of ways.
The land in question is farm land, set aside or otherwise it is still farm land and unsuitable for this a very non agricultural development.

The development is not in keeping with stylistic context of the local area.

Availability of essential services are not good.
with mains sewerage access quite some distance from the proposed site.

Site access is on the concave of a bend / curve, requiring vehicles to pull onto the road to gain full visabilty in both directions.

Should this be allowed to proceed two things are likely to happen, firstly it will set a precedent making it very difficult to object to similar proposals. Secondly the temptation could be strong to bring into use the balance of the remaining area, an area far greater than the proposed plot.
