Representation Summary:

I am writing to object to this outrageous proposal for a Science Park in Renhold.

The village of Renhold currently comprises of 6 ends [Salph End, Struttle End, Church End, Top End, Green End, Water End]

This is its distinctive character and the addition of a large business park at Water End would be totally alien and harmful to this character.

The sites are rural locations, between the built form of Renhold Green End and Great Barf ord, and they are sparsely populated.

Any development on these allocated sites, particularly the one at Water End which is on raised ground, whether it be for a 'pie in the sky' science park or, as is more likely, a warehouse distribution centre, would dominate the rural, open landscape and be out of keeping with the character and unique identity which is so prized by the village residents in the most recent Neighbourhood Plan survey.

Please listen to the electorate and cancel this project with immediate effect.
