Mendip Local Plan Part II: Sites & Policies - Issues and Options Consultation For office use Details of Objection/ Comment./Representation Name /Organisation Jonathan Channon Please indicate the document to which your representation relates (e.g. policy, paragraph DIT 008 number, HELAA site reference ) Do you consider the Local Plan is Legally Do you consider the Local Plan is Sound 1 ? Compliant? 1 Yes No Yes No Do you consider it necessary to participate at Yes/No examination hearings? (eg present oral evidence) Please provide details below of why you consider the Local Plan is not legally compliant or is unsound. Please be as precise as possible. If you wish to support the legal compliance and soundness of the plan, please also use this box to set out your comments. 1. There is no to little demand to new housing in Ditcheat as seen in the investigations in that there has been little development over the last 10+ years. Shepton Mallet has a large development on-going 6 miles away. Evercreech’s development has taken place and they cannot sell the houses. Castle Cary although in South Somerset, 3 miles away has 500 new houses being produced. 2. Adding 16 houses taking the assumption they may be populated by families with 2 children each, you have a demand for 32 children at the local school which is full. Guidance has been given that monetary donation could be required for the school however the school has no green/brown field areas to develop and extend the school to fit new students in. 3. This land is used for crops and encourages wildlife. Most evenings owls can be heard, building on top of this land will remove their prey which in turn will remove the owls. 4. Housing behind this land experiences minor flooding in gardens in the autumn and winter months. Adding housing behind this could increase flooding as there is nowhere for the water to go so more could build up in the gardens. 5. The land backs onto a minor road although is in heavy use by milk tankers visiting the local cheese factory and agricultural vehicles. There is a tight S-bend at the edge of the land. Increasing more traffic onto this minor road and tight corners would be ill advised. 6. Noise and light pollution - Ditcheat is a small rural village, adding more houses here will increase noise and light pollution for the population. 7. The land allocated at this site is far too large. Based on MDC calculations approximately 70 houses could be built on this land. Seeing as Ditcheat has 250 houses it’s plain to see this would have a detrimental affect. Looking at Lintern Close, Ditcheat which has 15 houses on Google Maps the area allocated should be of similar 1 See our Online Guidance note on what these terms mean 2 Mendip Local Plan Part II: Sites & Policies - Issues and Options Consultation size. Below is an indication of the size of Lintern Close on the proposed area as shown in a blue outline. 8. Normalizing this area you would end up with potentially more land than Lintern Close which would look like the below: 9. Even at a reduced area I would encourage the other two sites are made full use of in their allocation. These sites have access to services already and their affect on the current village aesthetics and existing residents would be minimal in comparison. DIT009 of five houses & DIT010 of three houses leaving 8 houses required. I know MDC cannot go on rumours but I have heard rumours that 4 holiday cottages within Ditcheat are going to be changed to a permanent use so does that lower the required number of houses? If so that leaves 4 houses on a large plot of land. 3 Mendip Local Plan Part II: Sites & Policies - Issues and Options Consultation 10. The current development limit stops at the edge of this proposed land. Extending this development limit sets a precedent for future development in Ditcheat. If DIT009 & DIT010 are used to their suggested allocation extending the village’s development limit for 8 houses (possibly 4) would be inappropriate in my opinion. 11. As MDC note, any development here would need to provide pedestrian access to the centre of the village. As noted earlier the road by this land is a busy minor road with an S-bend at the top. The only way to successfully provide this access as far as I can see is to obtain land on the opposite side of the road or the field next to this proposed land or through the cricket pitch. The Cricket pitch has been defined or is in the process of being classed as green space so a footpath through this area should not be allowed. It is used by the local school due to their limited size and not having a playing field next to it. Having people walking through their playing field potentially dropping litter, dog fouling and degrading the land through foot fall would be just wrong and to the detriment to the pupils of the school. 12. The Parish Plan conducted recently advocated that people wanted small developments and allocating such a large are would be against their wishes. 4 Mendip Local Plan Part II: Sites & Policies - Issues and Options Consultation For office use Details of Objection/ Comment./Representation Name /Organisation Jonathan Channon Please indicate the document to which your representation relates (e.g. policy, paragraph DIT009 number, HELAA site reference ) Do you consider the Local Plan is Legally Do you consider the Local Plan is Sound 1 ?

Castle Cary although in South Somerset, 3 miles away has 500 new houses being produced. 2. Adding more houses will have a potential knock on affect to schooling if children move into these new houses with no room for the school to expand currently. 3. However, there is some discrepancy with this site. It was not included in November 2017 council meeting but included in the full council meeting in December 2017. As it stands there is 5 houses allocated to this land. It has access to services and is tucked away in the village which should have minimal impact to village residents so if housing is required then I am in favour of this plot. 4. This also agrees with the Parish Plan in that it is small scale development 2 See our Online Guidance note on what these terms mean 5 Mendip Local Plan Part II: Sites & Policies - Issues and Options Consultation For office use Details of Objection/ Comment./Representation Name /Organisation Jonathan Channon Please indicate the document to which your representation relates (e.g. policy, paragraph DIT010 number, HELAA site reference ) Do you consider the Local Plan is Legally Do you consider the Local Plan is Sound 1 ?

    .*>() Fifty-ninth Annual Meeting, Mr. II. St. George Gray gave an account, illustrated by lantern slides, of the excavations conducted at Small Down ('amp, near Evcrcreech, in 1903. Full particulars of this work, with illustrations, are given in the Proceedings, Vol. L, pt. ii, pp. 32-49. The third paper was by Mr. F. Bligh Bond, f.R.I.b.a., on " Screen-work in the Churches of North-East Somerset," which was illustrated by an excellent series of lantern slides. This paper is printed in full in Part II, with several illustra- tions. The evening's programme was concluded with a lantern exhibition of photographic studies of Shepton Mallet Church by Dr. F. J. Allen and the Rev. R. L. Jones. Some of these very fine illustrations are reproduced in Dr. Allen's paper on " Shepton Mallet Church " in Part II. Thanks were returned for these communications, and to the Rector of Shepton Mallet for kindly lending and manipulating the lantern. §>econt> proceeDtngg.

Such churches were usually very fine, and there wT as no doubt that prior to its restoration Doulting Church was a magnificent edifice.

  • Evercreech in World War II: 1939
    Evercreech Kept Calm And Carried On 1939 - 1945 WAR TIME EVERCREECH 14 5 9 15 13 4 12 7 8 6 10 1 11 3 2 KEY TO MAP 1 The Old School 6 The Long House 11 Whitehead’s Garage 2 The Old Hall 7 Evercreech House 12 Park House 3 Original Vicarage 8 Pond 13 Batt’s Cottage 4 Enfield Works 9 Rockleaze 14 Springfield House 5 Long Close 10 Methodist Chapel and Schoolroom 15 Biscuit Packing Works Introduction Twenty years after the Great War (1914-1918) in which Evercreech lost 42 men, the village found itself caught up in another world war. In the inter-war years agriculture still employed large numbers of men. The milk factory was a major employer as was Enfield Works where metal goods were made, Allen’s Mineral Waters, the Brick Works and many smaller enterprises, which all made Evercreech a good place in which to live and work. The railway stations, Evercreech New in the village and Evercreech Junction at Southwood were very busy. 1939 War was declared on 4th September 1939. When the school re-opened after the summer holidays it was the village billeting office where teachers and villagers waited anxiously for the arrival of buses from Shepton Mallet station bringing 215 children, 18 teachers and 6 helpers from two East London schools: St Luke’s Church of England School and St Margaret’s Roman Catholic School, both from West Ham. All the children carried their gas masks in boxes and a bag of their possessions. The children were bewildered, tired and often tearful.
