The snappy punchline of 'Green to the core' and 'Live well locally' is a bold attempt to show a commitment to protecting rural communities and local ecology but your HELAA land allocation of CAT0001 and potential site CAT0016 in Catsfield fly in the face of these claims/promises. The proposal of 60 new houses (some proposing to be built on protected AONB land) in this small rural village (doubling the size of the main village), is absolutely shocking and I object strongly to these sites being included for allocation in this plan. These proposals would not only destroy ancient woodland, biodiversity and protected wildlife habitats, they would also severely impact the lives of local residents with increased pollution and a serious decline in the already insufficient utilties and local infrastructure.

New developments in the HWNL should also be designed to minimise light pollution so as to protect the dark skies character of the area for the sake of wildlife and human wellbeing.

Refers to single houses and large developments. I am concerned that a lot of smaller planning
applications will be excused these stricter regulations being proposed by RDC, when they should be
subject to them. Surface water runoff is important, wherever it occurs, especially near open water
courses where pollution can easily occur.

The natural and often ancient hedgerows are key features of the HWNL, are an asset and must be
retained at all costs for all sizes of development, so I disagree with the wording of this section as it
does not consider this.
