Representation Summary:

Nothing has happened since the site (Spinney View Farm, Claybrooke Parva) was refused to make it acceptable.

Full text:

- The proposed site would further increase the already high concentration of G/T/S accommodation in this area.
- There are insufficient services available in the area to accommodate further increase in demand.
- The proposed site is on a busy derestricted road and has very limited view of oncoming traffic.
- Slow moving large vehicles turning on to or off the A5 is a major safety issue.
- The proposed development would lead to a loss of open countryside, thus damaging an important element of the area.
- The site was subject to a refused planning application some years ago, following an inspectors decision. There can be no democratic reason for bringing the site back in again.
- It is therefore unsound to consider that the Planning Inspector's decision should be totally disregarded.
