1. Whether there are 50 or 150 dwellings, with or without a school, it is an inappropriate scale of development on a single site for a village the size of Brooke and the precedent would be set for permitting future similar inappropriate large scale housing development on the West side of the B1332 at a later date.
2. Inappropriate development on land immediately adjacent to the long established Conservation Area of Brooke and would impact on that Conservation Area.
3. Flood risk to existing properties as evidenced by the existing problems encountered due to the topography and geology of the undeveloped agricultural site at present.
4. Additional and excessive traffic generation for a small village.
5. Light pollution from an assumed street lighting scheme for the housing estate in a village that currently has minimal light pollution.
6. The need to protect this land for the abundance of wildlife that frequently makes use of these fields and surrounding areas.
7. Loss of agricultural land.
8. Brooke Village does not have sufficient local services to support a population of this size - no surgery, dentist, secondary school etc.
