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 utilities and local infrastructure.
This site is also within a high flood risk area.

The HELAA doesn't genuinely consider all options. Many of the reasons for rejection are that the proposed site would only be of interest to small developers. Other reasons for rejection are the exact same elements that are listed on the accepted sites.
The analysis of the rejected sites is entirely superficial in this document

If HELAA have been employed to make assessments then I see no reason to then potentially go against their recommendations. If a site is unsustainable then the facts are, it is unsustainable. Only previously unidentified sites should be considered.
