Roads are too narrow to accomodate increased traffic
Damage to existing buildings due to increased traffic
Historic causeway would be irrevocably changed. Important historic artifacts could well be beneath the surface.
Countryside views lost forever
Serious impact on drainage - increased flooding
Infrastructure cannot accomodate the additional housing

The site would have the potential to substantially change the character of the village, and put pressure on the existing sewage network. It is also not sustainable in the longer term, as there is no school in the village so parents would have to drive children to school (no pavement to schools). There are a limited number of local jobs, and few busses which would also push residents towards car commuting increasing congestion on the rural road network. It would also degrade the rich biodiversity of the field margins.

Proposed site is greenfield, adjacent to heritage sites and outside of Settlement Policy Boundaries. This is an ancient "ridge and furrow" field.(SSI?) Access to site extremely limited via single track road to Church, with access to High Street /Spring Hill at brow of hill via blind junction. Negative impact on form of village.
