The development of this site should be removed from HELLA v4, as the change from the HELAA v3 represented overwhelming support for the site being designated as unsuitable for development.

Maids Moreton is a 'smaller village' as defined in the settlement hierarchy para 5.18, and not suitable for a housing development of this size.

Site MMO006 is not suitable for development in HELLAv4 and contrary to VALP para4.120(now para4.1). Allocation of this site is in breach of NPPF paras 158/182. Modifications to plot size and number of houses is neither sound or legally compliant.

There was no public consultation on amendment to HELAAv4, changing site from 'unsuitable' to 'suitable' for development, or consultation with Maids Moreton and Foscote Parish Council or BCC . HELAAv3 showed total support for site being 'unsuitable' for development in breach of NPPF para 155, HELAA Methodology paras 1.20/1.21 and PPG para 3-008. It also breaches HELAAv4 app2. Proposal is neither sound or legally compliant
