There is no public transport serving the locality and the housing proposed is unlikely to make services economically viable. Therefore, each new home will require 1-2 vehicles = up to 80 additional vehicles. Assuming 10 homes, that each vehicle travels 20 miles/day on 5 days/week and an average, modern, medium sized car emits 250g CO2/mile (carfueldata.dft.gov.uk) the site proposed here will lead directly to increasing CO2 emissions by 26.5tonnes/year, with no obvious benefiut argument to mitigate the increase.
