I believe any further building of houses in and around Shortstown will be in conflict to the development guidelines highlighted in the landscape character assessment. Views of mid greensand ridge would be obsured. The open landscape setting of the cardington airship sheds would not be conserved, recent and ongoing building is already affecting the setting. The conservation of the dispersed pattern of settlements would be affected, any further houses in an around Shortstown would start to merge the village with Cotton End, Harrowden and Cardington. We need to preserve and enhance existing woodland e.g. Shocott Spring, we should not be looking to build near this area, there is a huge amount of wildlife that needs the woodlands and nearby fields. The roads in and around Shortstown are already busy and further houses would put pressure on the infrastructure of the roads and facilities in the area.
