Representation Summary:

Highways access unsuitable - Rectory Lane only wide enough for one vehicle in several points.
Development of this size would be completely contrary to the approved and adopted Neighbourhood Plan.
Infrastructure cannot cope with the existing population.
Countryside access to very well used public footpaths, linking with the Tas Valley Way, would be lost forever.

Completely unsuitable.
Rectory Lane is, in several parts, wide enough for only one vehicle. There is frequently a backlog of traffic sitting in Rectory Lane waiting to pass from the other direction. this is exacerbated at school pick up and drop off times when a large volume of vehicles park along Rectory Lane.
A development of this size is completely contrary to the approved and adopted Neighbourhood Plan.
With one large development already taking place in the village and another potentially going ahead, the infrastructure simply cannot cope - doctors, schools and roads are all struggling to cope.
These fields access a series of very well used public footpaths which link with the Tas Valley Way. It would be an absolute travesty to ruin the enjoyment of this countryside for the current residents and future generations.
