The proposed developments at SG14 would cause significant harm to the rural landscape, destroying greenfield sites and wildlife habitats in an area already experiencing over development. These areas lack rail connectivity, contradicting the Local Plan’s sustainability objectives. Existing road infrastructure is already congested, with no viable alternatives. Justifying development based on a single employer is flawed. Equally, continued commercial development to retrospectively justify over-population risks dramatic consequences including flooding and air pollution. Allowing these proposals sets a dangerous precedent. They fail to align with sustainable growth principles, overburden infrastructure, and permanently alter the countryside, making them inappropriate and unsustainable.

I am concerned that the current planning approach focuses too heavily on short-term, large-scale commercial developments, following an outdated economic model based on GDP and growth. This overlooks the increasing importance of small businesses, self-employment, and industries that foster long-term thriving over mere growth. Additionally, infrastructure, such as transport and flood risk management, is insufficient for the scale of development proposed. The lack of attention to aesthetics also undermines the creation of vibrant, desirable places. Planning should focus on fostering diverse, adaptable communities, supporting independent businesses, and building environments that balance economic growth with quality of life.
