I am afraid that I have had IT problems due to broadband unavailability today and have been unable to access the website until now as I am now in London. Please would you consider adding the following representation on site GNLP0122 Bergh Apton under my reference as I managed to register as number 16718.

- The site was rejected by the inspector during the last consultation round and the village is also no longer a service village.
- Current use is woodland with a hedgerow to the road as shown on ordnance survey maps.
- No access to mains sewers or liquid run-off provision for off grid sewage treatment. Two ponds which were on the site and used for surface water drainage have been filled in in the last year causing increased issues for surface run-off.
- We are concerned that the wildlife currently attracted to the large pond to the South would be frightened away by a dwelling in such close proximity. We currently have herons and kingfishers coming to the pond.
- Compromise the setting of the listed barn (Washingford Barn) as the new dwellings would be in view of the building.
- We would be very supportive of a development on a brownfield site, rather than this greenfield site
