- The process of establishing Claybrooke Magna as a selected rural village is totally unsound as the goalposts were moved on a regular basis to justify the Planning Policy.
- It does not even attempt to undertake a duty to co-operate as the Policy is included despite extensive local objection
- Had two key services, a pub and a school, been a requirement, the inclusion of Claybrooke Magna would not have arisen.
- The school is in a totally separate village with a separate Parish Council and to get to it people and children must walk along a busy road that has significant speeding problems on an uneven pathway with no street lighting.
- There is also serious parking problems at the school with people having to cross the road between parked cars already in dangerous positions.
- The proposal is unsustainable in that there area no local key services and people will have to travel out of the village for all their requirements, other than the pub, thus increasing traffic on unsuitable roads.
- The proposal does not follow due process as it has been developed in an undemocratic manner.
