PLANS to build a massive new retail and holiday village near Apethorpe were discussed at length at the Village Meeting last month.
The proposed development between the industrial estate in Kings Cliffe and Jacks Green would cover some 650 acres.
At present no formal planning application has been submitted but the council has asked for the view of villagers. Kings Cliffe Parish Council have already said they 'strenuously resist due to the large number (1140 dwellings) of accomodation units proposed'.
Chairman of the Village Meeting, Malcolm Winder listed the points of objection villagers had already made to him previously and appealed for people to make their voices heard.
The list so far includes:
• Disturbance to wildlife and vegetation
• Concern for the present Rights of Way
• It is a place of historical interest
• There would be increased noise particularly from the amphitheatre
• The amount of waste generated from the site
• Light pollution
• The impact of increased traffic
• The visual impact
• There are already caravan sites at Nassington and Yarwell
The above objections, plus views concerning the county structure plan will be put to the East Northamptonshire District Council.
