The Parish Council have discussed these proposals at length as well as hold a well attended meeting with the village residents. The consensus is to object the site proposed as like with other sites, the same issues are relevant. The village does not currently have sufficient infrastructure, with some poor roads and pavements, limited foot paths and drainage issues. The capacity of the school and limited Broadband is also worth highlighting as well as the effect on the environment. We already have a new development being built just off Bell Road which we agreed to as we are aware the village must flourish to an extent. If large developments are built residents are greatly concerned the look, feel and rural nature of the village will change. Routes through the village are already used as a, 'rat run' especially by lorries and more development will further strain the current infrastructure. Councillors agreed that smaller developments could potentially be considered, such as for 5-15 houses only.
This site- outside village envelope and access is on a bend.
