As with my comments on QB9/H, the map shown is inaccurate as it doesn't show the recent development of 140 homes on the old quarry site on Long Lane.
Long Lane has problems with traffic using it as a Rat Run. Additional housing, from this proposal and QB9/H, will generate more traffic resulting in greater traffic delays. With more houses this development could cause greater traffic problems.
There is the environmental issue as fields act as "soak" areas for water reducing the risk if flooding further down the valley. Housing on the field would increase the risk of flooding elsewhere.
There is also the question of can the infrastructure, drainage, water supply, electricity supply etc cope with the additional housing. If we are to be forced into using electric cars can the electricity supply in the area cope with the additional loads of hundreds of cars being charged.
