When the village was first shown proosals for this site in 2016, the emphasis was on it being a park "Accessible by foot and by motor car" for the "wider growth areas" ... but with no car parking facilities, and no indication of how pedestrians would access across the dangerous blind bend on the B1108 around The Cock Inn. We were told then that there would be 50 houses, now it is 177. The original plans show all the southern part of the area as recreational land ... presumably a water park as this is the flood plain of the River Tiffey and floods regularly.
The sewage pumping station at the end of Style Loke can barely cope with the existing numbers of houses. At times of heavy rain, as Anglian Water records will show, sewage is forced out of the manhole in my garden and my neighbours. Development on the scale of 177 would require radical new sewage removal proposals. Not happy at the thought of having it in my garden.
The village plan of 2010 recognised the need for a small development of about 10 affordable houses. nothing we have seen about this scheme suggest that this site is likely to fulfil those needs.
