As a local resident I would wish you to be aware that building new homes in AD1/H will not help to achieve the objective of building a sustainable village community or strengthen its resilience to climate change. The village centre is a mile away and uphill all the way back. Walking down to the village co-op is not an option nor is carrying shopping back uphill.
The half hourly buses do not provide a solution as there are still a 400 further yards uphill from the bus stop. Building more houses in Turner Lane will not strengthen the village’s resilience to climate change as these new residents will have to use their cars to get to and from the village and will not engage with village life.
