Castle Manor Farm Objection - STAUNCH Campaign

The proposed site sits in an area that has not been designated for development. Should the application be approved it will be in direct conflict with the current Joint Core Strategy

Should the application be approved there will be substantial damage to open countryside including the loss of productive agricultural land.

The loss of rural setting to the Market Town of Thrapston and Titchmarsh Conservation Village.

The loss of natural habitats and historical biodiversity contained within its fields, hedgerows, and trees and the loss of Important Historical Hedgerows.

The cumulative impact on the local highway network, particularly the A605 and its junctions. This will not only impact the local area but the whole of the A605 as far as the junction with the A1. The A605 is already heavily congested.

The site would have a detrimental visual impact on the area.

The risk of increased flooding in both Thrapston and Titchmarsh.

There is an insufficient local workforce to fulfill the number of potential jobs that the applicant claims will be generated by this development.

The development will produce unacceptable increased levels of noise, air and light pollution.
