The roads in the area cannot support a large development. As mentioned on other objections, the ford at Star Lane already causes a lot of issues when it frequently floods with cars unable to pass or turn on the country lane. A number of cars break down in the ford whilst trying to pass every year. Further traffic from this development will create a 'rat run' through Star Lane and will be disastrous when the ford is flooded. The other roads in the village have a number of blind bends and the current traffic and speed of makes it very dangerous for people walking or cycling on the roads. The loss of wildlife, including protected species, from the area will be huge, and the nature of the village will change with such a large development. Local schools are near capacity, including the village school with 2 classes for 6/7 years of pupils and the strain added to these from large scale development will cause issues.
