Building on Greenbelt should not be allowed destroying views and the openness of the village.

Opportunity for sprawl, views over the open fields towards Beamsley will be lost forever.

Sites AD1/H,AD2/H,AD6/H and AD7/H are too far from the village amenities to expect families to walk, meaning car journeys will increase on already busy village streets.

AD6/H was refused planning, nothing has changed so the reasons put forward then are still valid for that site and all the others on greenbelt.

Number dwellings proposed is disproportionate to the size of the village. In the last review only 70 houses were required.

There is no supporting infrastructure for the village. No train station, no secondary school, poor bus links, most commuting is by car already.
Contrary to pollution targets.

If there is no option to using greenbelt there are sites closer to the village, land between the cricket field and memorial hall seems more sensible, close enough to walk to amenities, cars will not have to travel through the village and access is safe/direct.
