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.

Q4: A127. Although there are congestion problems here, the A12 also suffers severe congestion problems.

Q5: No.

Q6: Develop greenfield sites on the edge of villages, which would then require additional infrastructure.
