Planning applications on sites allocated in the local plan should not be rushed through without due diligence. In particular the Burnmill Farm site, full ecological, archeological, flood risk assessments and consideration of existing residents should be taken into account. On paper, the site may appear to be sustainable but in reality there are many issues that need to be addressed. Localised flooding, problems with access in the winter (inability to access the higher end of Kingston Way), evidence of Great Crested Newts and other protected species and issues to access of the farm e.g. Delivery vehicles.
