Proximity to protected habitats. Negative impact of increased footfall and traffic.
Lack of access to adequate public transportation in particular means properties would appeal more to car owners, at least one car per household, more probably two, would see significant increase in traffic and air pollution.
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.
Reducing village to 'commuter' belt where majority of new residents are not actively engaged in the community.
With a bit of imagination (and attendant financing) this site would be ideally suited to becoming a 'country park' which would benefit the local community and remove pressure on the few existing open spaces and local footpaths.
