This site alongside School Road is unsuitable for housing for the following reasons:
1. The field and its hedgerows currently provides nesting sites for skylarks and yellow hammers which are declining species in our farmlands and should be protected. The hedge and in particular the Oak trees alongside the road are rich in wildlife.
2. The road itself is unsuitable. It is too narrow and the edges are unstable with the verges/ditches being compacted by heavy traffic frequently leading to flooding.
3. It would create a ribbon of development which would adversely alter the current footprint of the village.
