Policy A14 is not sustainable development as noted in the NPPF on the basis it is not sound. I have concerns of 1,300 houses built on 73 hectares of land predominantly used for agriculture which in this present climate is extremely important. There would also be significant effect on strategic wildlife corridors especially Beckstein and barbastelle bats in the local areas and the proposed route of the cycle path would mean removing the pond and presumably the heritage trees which are used by pond life, owls and other animals.
Reduce the number of dwellings and re-route the cycle path away from the suggested route.
