1. Impact on Green Belt: Site C1 is located within an area that contributes significantly to the Green Belt. The Green Belt Review Stage 1 indicates that this site plays a crucial role in preventing urban sprawl and maintaining the character of the countryside.
2. Sustainability Concerns:
Although Site C1 is noted for its proximity to educational facilities, only 17% of the settlement area is within a sustainable distance to a primary school. This limited accessibility could lead to increased traffic congestion and reliance on private vehicles, contradicting sustainability goals.
3. Infrastructure Strain: The proposed development of 6,000 homes would place an immense strain on existing infrastructure, including roads, public transport, sewage and local services.
4. Environmental Impact: The development poses a risk to local biodiversity and natural habitats. The area is home to various species that could be adversely affected by construction and increased human activity.
5. Community Impact: The scale of the proposed development is disproportionate to the existing community, potentially altering the character and social fabric of the area. This could lead to a loss of community identity and cohesion.
