Representation Summary:

This should not be a consideration. Concern the village will not benefit in any way and local businesses will be affected.

I object to yet another site in such close proximity to two other sites, especially given this is such a small village. In addition the local schools are hard enough to get our children in without adding what I consider will be a dramatic increase in local families.
I also feel that the local business claric house will suffer as a consequence to this site and given the fact that this local employer is willing to purchase the land o further increase their business and employ more local people I feel this will be a better use of the land.
There is also the matter of services to the land, currently there is none so some will need to be provided and at whose cost. If its the local tax payer I would prefer my taxes go to local facilities and services, given the already high cuts locally surely this money os better spent elsewhere than on providing services to land when there is none needed. Council housing would be a better use of money and resources.
I also object given my fear the site will not stay the planned size. If the land is needed for housing I suggest building new council properties for the ever growing list of families in need. We have already got two traveler sites in very close proximity and I suggest this piece of land is more suited to either business or bricks and mortar housing development.
