Occupies area identified by Environment Agency as having significant flood risk.
Proximity to Barford bypass would cause noise disturbance.
Roads are heavily used so access and egress would not be safe given high speeds and number of serious accidents in the vicinity. In addition, the site is not sustainable in terms of multi modal accessibility. No access to local community facilities (schools, doctors' surgeries etc) on foot or bike (inadequate pedestrian crossing facilities to Barford village) or by bus, placing further pressure on local highways. Other sites, better related to the larger settlements, have better access to a GP surgery, school and public transport. This approach is unsustainable, creating undue pressure on local infrastructure and services and doesn't allow peaceful and integrated co-existence with the local community.
Could not be integrated into the landscape without harming the character of the local area.
Represents an unacceptable loss of farmland and rural employment, rendering the site isolated and totally unviable. In addition cannot meet Rural Area Policies, especially RAPs 1 (New Housing), 6 (New Employment), 10 (Safeguarding Rural Roads) and 15 (Camping and caravan Sites) as development has a material adverse effect on the landscape and will harm the visual amenity.

Would negatively impact on the capacity of Barford St. Peter's School, especially as the village may already have to accommodate 70-90 new dwellings.
