I object to this proposal for a Science Park in Renhold as it would not meet the policy criteria appertaining to Settlement Policy Areas.
Criterion i) requires the development to be sensitive to the form and character of the village . The application does not meet this criterion.
Criterion ii) requires the character and scale of the proposed development to be compatible with local building styles This development is not compatible .
Criterion iii) requires comparability in form and dwelling densit y. Clearly the proposal fails on this count too.
Criterion iv) requires there to be no adverse effect on the setting. The proposed development would have a very severe detrimental effect on the vicinity of Green End and Water End with loss of amenity by reason of loss of privacy (being overlooked) and visual amenities and noise, pollution and disturbance.
Please do not allow this project to gain any further traction as it is not needed and, most certainly, not wanted.
