This site is not acceptable for development.
There is already a large housing estate around St Paul's Rise, vehicles from which funnel onto Old Station Way, to access Main Street and a route out of the village.
The junction of Old Station Way and Main Street has poor visibility due to a blind corner to the left and parked vehicles to the right.
A development of 49 houses proposed at this site could easily be the equivalent of an additional 100 vehicles accessing this route on a daily basis, putting unnecessary strain on the route, and the well-being of those already living in the vicinity.
Buses, even with existing traffic volumes, often encounter delays negotiating Main Street at this point.
There are a number of ecological considerations, including possible interference with the hunting range of the local barn owl population in the field to the north.
