1) General traffic
In my opinion this site will generate a lot of traffic with only one obvious access point

2) Traffic on Golf Lane
With a pedestrian access point to the secondary school being located at the end of Golf Lane, many pupils will be dropped off by car in the morning in Fieldgate Lane causing a large amount of peak traffic on Golf Lane. This will be dangerous for pupils of Briar Hill and St Margaret's Primary trying to cross a road with no crossing point to go to their school.

3) Parking around Fieldgate Lane
Cars dropping off/ picking up children in Fieldgate Lane will create a very significant hazard and loss of quality of life for those residents

4) Loss of wildlife habitat
Otters in the brook and foxes, hares, buzzards and other wildlife that is often in the field will lose their habitat.

5) Flooding
Some of the fields in question are often subject to flooding. Any work to reduce their flooding risk could lead to increased risk elsewhere.

6) Primary Schools
The development of Warwick Gates has already led to issues surrounding the shortage of primary school places in the local area. These new houses will be even closer to Briar Hill and St Margaret's Primary so there will be even more parents chasing few places.

7) Loss of community facility for Sydenham
The moving of Campion school will cause increased travel and a loss of a community facility for the existing residents of Sydenham

8) Why does Whitnash always get the new developments
The character of the Whitnash area has already been greatly scarred with the development of Warwick Gates, Dobson Lane, recent Chesterton Heights/Sydenham encroachment on the countryside and extension of the South Farm development. It is time that other areas of district share in the development (if indeed it is truly necessary).
