Q1: Yes.
Q2: Yes - I agree, but infrastructure is very weak (i.e. drainage) in Rectory Chase at the moment. Flooding can be a problem. Waiting time at the doctors is also high and the school is full.
Q3: Yes - 185 Rectory Chase. Development, of the type mentioned, would create chronic traffic problems. Access is very restricted. This site could only really cope with one or two houses.
