My objections are as follows:

1. Population. The requirement for new housing is already fatally flawed due Brexit, falling birth rates and need for lower population growth. Should have “wind back” strategy in plan when housing need starts to unravel.

2. Village. Wish to live in a village not a town. Add houses to existing towns or build a new town – can build infrastructure in at the start

3. Windfalls. Recent and imminent builds, including those off Moor Lane, must be taken into account.

4. Brownfield sites, e.g. former petrol station. Should be used up first and is more accessible to facilities than Moor Lane sites.

5. Sewers. Existing system cannot cope and will be overloaded. New sewer system required.

6. Traffic. Moor Lane is a narrow road and not suitable to support 80 houses of the planned development. Concerns about impact on road safety.
