We the undersigned object to the planning application by Framptons on Land East of Rosemary (P142215/O) and it should be refused for the following reasons:
§ The proposed development would have a significant and demonstrable adverse impact on the setting of Leintwardine village. This would outweigh any of the benefits of the proposed development and be contrary to Policy LA3 “Setting of Settlements” of the UDP.
§ The proposed development would have a significant and demonstrable adverse impact on the setting of the Scheduled Monument of Bravinium. This would outweigh any of the benefits of the proposed development and be contrary to Policy ARCH3 “Scheduled Ancient Monuments” of the UDP.
§In assessing the impact on the Scheduled Monument the applicant has failed describe the significance of the heritage asset affected, including any contribution made by their setting. This is contrary to paragraph 128 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
§ In failing to describe the significance of the heritage asset affected the applicant has also failed to identify the harm and loss that will be caused through alteration and destruction of the Scheduled Monuments setting. Failure to provide a clear and convincing justification for the development is contrary to para. 132 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
§ This development will involve introducing built form onto the slopes away from the village into the valleys, with a detrimental effect on the character and significance of the Roman settlement of Bravinium Scheduled Monument, and the Leintwardine Conservation Area which maintains a wider boundary than Bravinium. This is substantial harm to a nationally significant area by way of the detrimental effect on the setting. This is directly contrary to Paragraph 133 of the National Planning Policy Framework and to Policies S7 and ARCH3 of the Herefordshire Unitary Development Plan which seek to protect the historic heritage in terms of feature and setting, both built and natural from future development proposals.
§ A development of 57 dwellings, in a rural area, where car ownership is significantly higher due to the lack of public transport, will create an increased number of am and pm peak trips. This coupled with the existing problems associated with Rosemary Lane and the single file areas, will undoubtedly create traffic issues and highway safety problems in the immediate vicinity, leading to pedestrian and vehicular conflict to the detriment of highway safety in the area. This proposal is contrary to Policy S6 of the Herefordshire UDP and Paragraph 32 of the NPPF.

The momentum behind this petition highlights the deep concern held by our community regarding the preservation of the setting of Bravinium. This collective response confirms that the adverse impact of the proposed development is broadly recognized as being contrary to our local planning policies.

This development is not sustainable. It is not to a scale that is manageable for the local infrastructure and safety of the inhabitants. It is not about anything other than making money at the expense of the heritage of Bravonium, an old Roman settlement that is protected and as a result is a wholly unsuitable proposal for Leintwardine to absorb. Mesage to the decision makers, throw this application out with a floursih and show that money cannot ride roughshod over the social fabric of a Herefordshire community.
Development in a small community needs to be an organic process which allows assimilation of new inhabitants a development of 57 houses represents a large % growth in house numbers in this village! address the scale of this development
A bad ideaa
There are plenty of brown fields sites that can and should be developed first before the developers exploit Leintwardine to the full benefit of their own profitability. There is a complete lack of substantive impact statements to support this development let alone correct consultations with Natural Britain / English Heritage about the detrimental impact on the sites of geological of interest. The Developers and The Herefordshire County Council have a duty of care to provide safe aces and use of the surrounding roads and quite clearly Rosemary Lane does not have the capacity to cope with the additional increase in number of cars and / pedestrians. The Developers are making no contribution to the overall infrastructure of Leintwardine which just not have the capacity to cope with more people. The schools and surgery are full and the availability of public transport to take people to work
I bought my cottage in this beautiful village nearly 2 years ago, anticipating the move to a rural idyll. Had I had known that a massive housing estate was to built behind my house, | would never have moved there. How is the viilage going to cope with the number of cars that this will introduce to the village, how is the school going to manage, the sewerage system. Where are these extra people going to find work? There is no employment in the area as it is!!!!
yes there is houses needed but not on the scale proposed down by Rosemary!
Village infrastructure will be overwhelmed. Traffic issues, local amenties will not cope and in general the village wil caese to be what it is now and become a "small town".

How on earth can a small village sustain such a large build? Wigmore School is already oversubscribed and cannot possibly accommodate higher numbers than we already have. Please leave us some of our beautiful countryside untouched.
