The road infrastructure is totally inadequate to support additional traffic which will undoubtedly be increased by 1000 houses and a school.
The local schools will not be able to cope with additional new students from 1000 new homes.
They are already overflowing.
The area is of historic interest and new archeological finds are currently being made.
There are natural springs in the area and a brook which will be suppressed. These are of natural beauty and of ecological benefit to the area.
The development is being submitted by the developers solely for financial gain, not because it is a suitable site and certainly not with the interests of local residents in mind.

There is too much development south of the river and access to this area is already over subscribed.
