Representation Summary:

1. There is insufficient provision within the area for good quality primary school places. Both Elstow and Lakeview are full & WixamsTree is Ofsted RI, anyway that would increase traffic at school run time due to distance.
2. Access shouldn't be onto Abbeyfields road. There's already too much traffic through the village and significant congestion on West End and the junction with the A6.
3. Building on Grade-2 Agricultural land is plain wrong at a time when Global food prices are rocketing and we plainly need to be more self sufficient as a nation and there's plenty of Brownfield sites.
