Representation Summary:

GD8. 1a.
The Burnmill Farm proposed development DOES NOT respect the distinctiveness of the settlement. The area in question is distinctive for its row of attractive trees near the top of the ridge; which are seen, recognised and admired from a significant distance.
Any development of housing will disrupt the appearance of the distinctive trees, even when sited behind the trees. The landscape will subsequently be materially worsened, which is unacceptable.
