I am a supporter of the community farm at Dyke Nook, Sandford. The planned route would compromise the farm and disadvantage the development of the farm. A better route would be to the north of this section of the road. Leaving the current road as a parallel route would reduce the number of junctions and therefore save costs and minimise loss of farming land. It would mean alternative access for local traffic and in case of any blockage to, or repairs to the dual carriageway. It would also allow the retention of existing established trees. In discussion with those more local to the area, it appears that the views of the community have not been taken into account in the planning
