The proposed development of addition housing on this area, would mean that thru flow of traffic would increase into large residential area which means that families and children walking through to school are at a greater risk, but also noise pollutions through vehicles would increase. THe access would be a one way access and therefore provide issues with traffic which is already an issue in the close with rights of way. The school is a building that can only take so many pupils and the extra developments would mean that the school may not be able to cope with the demand as you can only have a certain number of children in a class due to age limits, it is not based on the number the school can take. Class sizes are already at maximum in lower year groups.
Building on the back of Foundry close will disturb also natural habitat as Owls and birds of Prey are frequent in that area. THe building of houses will also effect value of other properties in a negative manner due to the loss of view from the existing houses.
There are also not enough facilities ( no bus service) within the village or the road infrastructure is not able to cope with increase in traffic with out a real risk of an accident to pedestrians and also to properties that are of historical importance.
