Representation Summary:

Local Plan 2040 and Call for Sites.

2d and 1a are a particular concern for those who live in Renhold. As the village is a small group 3 settlement with very limited facilities it is far better to build and develop brownfield sites. 2d and 1a would destroy the intrinsic character, green spaces and its high quality agricultural land. Many roads in Renhold village are in a poor state of repair and are quite unsuitable for large volumes of traffic or HGVs and there is a traffic restriction order and a weight restriction in place. The primary school is oversubscribed and Church End comes to a standstill during drop off and pick up times as it is a single carriage road. Widening roads and development in open countryside would destroy wildlife corridors and valuable habitats. My preference for the local plan would be 2C and 2B.
