Your vision does not represent your plan to build 500 plus new houses in the village.
It can not remain an independent village with a sense of community by increasing its inhabitants by 200% plus.
You already state the infrastructure does not exist; lack of healthcare, schools, transport, roads inadequate.
You state any development should “strictly “ be in keeping with the village. How can anyone say this truthfully by increasing its inhabitants from 440 to a potential 1500 plus?
The proposed destruction of an ancient village that is Great Stambridge is criminal.
I moved here 22 years ago to get away from built up areas and urbanism, I paid a premium for the green open spaces, the wildlife, and peace and quiet. Many people move to such areas for their physical and mental health. PTSD and anxiety eased by the open landscape and being one with nature.
RDC will have a lot to answer for if they go ahead with their plans to develop Stambridge from a village in to another concrete jungle.
