Excessive number of properties proposed many on greenfield and green belt land.
Proximity to protected habitats. Negative impact of increased footfall and traffic.
Increase in traffic leading to traffic log jams, particularly at peak times and during road works and bad weather.
Inability of local infrastructure; roads, schools, doctors, dentist, public transportation and limited leisure facilities to cope with any increase in demand.
Destruction of unique character and heritage of village.
Unnecessary destruction of green field/belt.
New properties out of character with village, unimaginative architecture, lack of space, covering of soil with tarmac etc. reducing water absorption increasing risk of flooding.
Negative impact on local economy as village less attractive to visitors/walkers.
Reducing village to 'commuter' belt where majority of new residents are not actively engaged in the community.
Increased threat to livestock from 'out of control' dogs. Increased volume of dog faeces fouling local footpaths, pavements and other habitats.
