The only access to this site is onto a very narrow road with no pavement, along which large numbers of children walk to and from the school. A corner of the site abuts a sharp blind bend which children must negotiate. Hardly any traffic currently passes this way, so the children are relatively safe, but any increase at all would present a clear danger to schoolchildren. Although the initial proposal is for only a few houses, doubtless there would be a future push to extend this. Traffic from this new development would also be exiting onto Main Street via the narrow single carriageway of Jubilee Terrace, which is already a hazard to pedestrians.
Apart from these considerable safety concerns, this greenfield site is a wildlife haven much loved by villagers. It contains an ancient hedge and several TPOs. Please leave this as it is!
