You rightly acknowledge the construction of the Hinkley C Project and the potential to distort the picture in the medium to short term, however is this reflected in your analysis of housing requirements in the East of South Somerset?

I recently attended the consultation meeting at Wincanton Memorial Hall and was disappointed to find that there was not any information pertaining to Templecombe on display. On enquiry a map was produced (HELAA 2018) which outlined proposed development in the village

It appears that half the rural settlement target has been met already. It would be helpful to receive the figures for each individual rural settlement or is this a cover up? Where is the transparency? There certainly has already been much development in Abbas and Templecombe and there are several plans for huge developments in the pipeline (ref HELAA 2018 Abbas and Templecombe) Is this a fair distribution across South Somerset?

Abbas and Templecombe may have a railway station but it does not provide adequate transport links to the rest of South Somerset. People generally drive into the village to use this facility.
Abbas and Templecombe's main road is already congested. There are often bottle necks at the pinch points particularly when there are lorries travelling in both directions through the village. Various garden walls have been knocked down, rebuilt and then knocked down again. There is visible proof of this.
