Representation Summary:

Green belt is Green belt.
An unacceptable increase of nearly 30% of houses.
Full health centre, struggle to get appointments.
Village school at full capacity, already turns away some local children.
Inadequate roads and infrastructure for larger vehicles, damage to roads, surfaces, verges and wildlife.
Already high water table in the village.
Irreversible loss of village environment, unacceptable forced urbanisation on residents who moved here to get away from just that.

This is green belt land and should remain as such.
An increase of nearly 30% of the houses in the village is completely unacceptable and would change the village landscape forever.
The school is bursting to capacity with children already living in the village unable to attend due to numbers.
The nearby doctors, which has only recently been enlarged, built and opened, is already at capacity with appointments being increasing difficult to obtain. Red rose lane is insuficient to be able to take large scale and heavy plant machinery which would cause local disruption and further damage to already damaged roads that are not built to withstand such activity. Poor drainage. The village already suffers from a very high water table and increased buidling could cause untold and not yet considered displacemtn due to increased buildings. Permanant loss of the current green belt landscape and unacceptable urbanisation of a village envirornment.
