I object for the following reasons:

1. The number of new houses is so large that it will change the character of the village in a detrimental way.

2. The traffic generated will cause more congestion on the roads to the village, and the roads in the village which will be turned into through routes to the new houses will become more dangerous. This will affect children who walk to and from the school and the playing field, and anyone walking to the village amenities. The mixing of these local walkers with commuter traffic in and out of the village is a recipe for accidents.

3. The village infrastucture is coping sustainably with current demands so it does not need 'propping up' by extra development. On the contrary, extra development on this scale may stretch it to the detriment of current villagers.

4. The Green Belt should be protected. It is there for a reason and the plan shows no convincing reason why this part of it should be destroyed.
