Land off High Road

I received an email from a resident earlier in the week asking about development in the High Road area. Can I stress that I have no knowledge of any application having been submitted nor knowledge to suggest that one will shortly be so. I have used some photo-editing software to make a mock-up of the impact such a development could have to the northern end of the village.

As area would look with development adjacent to the Queens Head

I wonder how residents in this area would feel about such a development. Personally, as a resident of Burgh Castle, I would feel that this could lead to erosion of the rural character of the area. Of course, as I mentioned, I have no idea of when, or even if, anyone might try and develop this piece of land.

On another note about development, I did speak with the Chairman of the Parish Council last night and he tells me that no one has written into the council to share their considerations about the future of the village. Given the large public interest last meeting I would have expected at least 10 responses. Hopefully some will be forthcoming before the next meeting on the 8th of April 2010.
