We object to the preferred site and do not agree this is the best option to deliver this amount of housing. This site is in a sensitive area in terms of the surrounding countryside, the church and approach to the village along Post Office Road. Development of the allocated site would be at odds with this rural character and would very much limit views of the church from Post Office Road.

There is also an existing recreation ground along Post Office Road. Not only would additional houses in this location present more traffic near to the play area, but any further open space in this area would focus too much public open space in the north of the village, providing an imbalance with the southern end of the village. This site has a HIGH risk of surface water flooding to the frontage of the site and at the access point.
