Place Land is an agent working primarily for their own profit and that of landowners. This is veiled by the statements re helping SHDC with their Local Plan etc.
Sustainability occurs often in their information. So anyone who knows East Allington will also know that most employment and Secondary schooling all exists outside the village which needs at least one car for each family. The Bus Service is almost non existent and the terrain isn't suitable for safe or easy cycling. This means that there is no, or little opportunity, for families without their own transport to leave the village for work, education or recreation in larger local towns. Where is the 'sustainability' in this? How do pupils of KCC access extra curricular activities? They are basically cut off in the village in the evenings with little or no facilities.
The local roads are single track with some passing places, steep and winding.
Is the local school large enough to contain and increase in population of young children, or will they have to access another village school? Has a calculation been made re how many extra Primary and Secondary aged children the 35 houses will produce?
