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.

Key Objections to battle development
Loss of ancient hedgerows featuring protected wildlife, veteran trees and endangered flora and fauna
North Trade Road and the High Street are already heavily congested, and poorly maintained (lots more traffic and potholes!)
Effects on the heritage of our historic market town and listed buildings, leading to urban sprawl
Decimation of Grade A viable farmland
The development would destroy the AONB
