Audience Comments

A Resident stated that when he moved into the area it was a quiet road and a quiet village. With the massive increase in caravan sites in the immediate vicinity, this was causing hazards on the country roads with careless and reckless drivers.

The question was asked as to how many more camp sites were in the process of coming into the area, and could the PC please resist any new applications for such.

The Chairman responded to this comment by pointing out that the Council have objected several times about these developments, but that ELDC have a presumption to approve and they do not listen.

Any and all such applications should be objected to by, not only the PC, but also all members of the public. Only when ELDC Planning hear the weight of objections will they pay attention.
