This site would further 'stretch' the linear aspect of the village. There is no safe access to the sloping site which is on an already dangerous bend that floods whenever there is heavy rain. The cost of making the road, the junction and access sufficiently safe is likely to outweigh any possible profit and Highways should certainly not bear the cost.The current road system from and around the village leading to the A146 is already pressured. Any significant increase in vehicles/car ownership which would be inevitable in this context is counter to environmental targets to reduce pollution.
