The vicarage is also Grade II listed, along with Whitehouse Farm in Lark Hill Road, which would front the development, you say you want to be sympathetic to these buildings but why even build near them when there are better allocations in Canewdon, especially when the parish council are totally against building on church land. The lane going to St Nicholas's church also serves a working farm which has substantial heavy plant machinery travelling up and down which would not be good for the proposed development/residents. No main drainage west of the church road and poor surface water drainage .
I strongly object to this proposed site in Canewdon. This site chosen by the council is on elevated land, which would make the development look top heavy, and would surround and dwarf the view of the church which is a well known and iconic view, and is a gradeii star listed building, you can't make this view look better it can only look worse with houses.When you drive down Scotts Hall road the view of the church will be ruined, the existing housing is already dense around the church, and this is only going to add to the situation. This allocation was never the preferred site.
