Representation Summary:

The site adjoins a 400 housing development served by Alvington Way. The boundaries were carefully considered when the estate was approved. Development of the Farm will represent an intrusion in to the countryside setting of the estate, be detrimental to amenities of residents and views from the north, and detract from gap with Gt Bowden.
The estate and its roads were not designed to take extra traffic. There are no local facilities so the development will create extra traffic moving to and from those facilities. Walking, cycling and public transport not an alternative. Detrimental to residents.
