I support the decision to discount sites 2 & 3 & 4 as these would create a high visual impact (a permanent visual impact visual for/from miles all around & not only for Radford villagers). These sites would also extend the village envelope significantly and undermine the future shape and size of Radford Semele village. These sites are not fit for purpose to accommodate the number of houses and additional traffic required - no village should be required to accommodate a >3% increase in housing - large housing increases will destroy the village culture and heritage as this level of rural growth is artificial and cannot be sustained by the village infrastructure. The transport infrastructure is already overloaded and to potentially add significant traffic entering and exits this section of highway will create an unsafe highway - furthermore any traffic management measures will likely add to adding congestion and damaging the village environment.
