Respondent: Essington Parish Council

Linthouse land site is very car dependent and will result in additional traffic and rat running, impact on the local landscape and the impact on public access to the countryside. Commitment to sustainable transport to the site too vague. Concerned on deliverability/commitment of developer to deliver local infrastructure, including local centre, and the impact on the sustainability of the site. Concerns about the impact on biodiversity and flooding. Site would result in high Green Belt harm. In the SA, Linthouse Lane only performs better than other sites in the Essington area in terms of education and worse in terms of several other indicators, including climate change. Concern on impact on the Public Rights of Way running across the site, would see the loss of Grade 3 agricultural land. The site would potentially create some coalescence. Unclear if there is sufficient secondary school capacity to serve the site. Site is adjacent a AQMA, Presence of a moated site may need to be explored for its impact on the historic env.
