The proposed site would be an inappropriate choice and position in the village . The access point (if agreed with the health centre) is at the most congested point in the village, being positioned directly opposite the village shop and post office . There are always parked cars outside the shop and further along the street . Large delivery vehicles park at that very point (opposite the proposed access road ) . It is also the main bus stop point in the village . There are frequent collisions along this point of the street and there have been two serious accidents outside 40 and 42 The Street in the past probably due to the parked cars and congestion . There is no capacity for widening the road due to existing residential properties. I believe such a development would significantly increase traffic safety is risks . Furthermore the proposed access road is exactly at the point where elderly people and patients walk from the bus stop to the Health Centre .
The increased number of residents would be put too much pressure on local resources.
