Spread the development over several smaller sites to reduce impact

Full text:

There seem to be several other proposals that are more viable than this, both in terms of vehicle access and pedestrian safety. In addition, I'd be interested to know if any consideration has been given to rainwater runoff as the rear gardens of those properties bordering the proposal are prone to heavy saturation / flooding which would only be made worse by losing the natural runoff of the field behind. Traffic from the site from either proposed exit point would also expose schoolchildren walking to hainford school to additional risk as there is no footpath or lighting on dumbs lane or newton road. I believe that spreading new development over several smaller sites would relieve the impact on any one area and would be the more sensible option.
