These are some of the reasons to object to this application (please make sure you use your own words when submitting comments to the planning authority):
- Loss of a highly valued landscape
- Unwelcome intrusion into the countryside; long sweeping access road across the field
- Unacceptably High Impact on High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
- Loss of important views from one of the most popular and well used public footpaths in the parish
- Loss of public amenity value; views from the Martindale Community Centre
- Loss of amenity for residents in Cheeleys, Station Road and Church Lane; increase in noise and disturbance
- Lack of local need for dwellings of this size (the village needs smaller more affordable housing)
- Impact on the Conservation Area
- Impact on the Grade I Listed Church
- Impact on other Grade 2 Listed Buildings such as Timbers/Splinters
- Unsafe access off Church Lane; danger to children walking to school along Church Lane
- No suitable safe access for construction vehicles; impact on Leighton Villas
- Loss of an important habitat for wildlife
- Light pollution
- Site not included in draft Neighbourhood Plan
- Site not included in Mid Sussex District Plan
- Impact on the Ashdown Forest
