This is not sustainable development planning. There are many reasons why increased vehicle movements in the village with minimal footpaths and no street lighting are dangerous. This particular site has very poor road access and would make the nearby roads dangerous. The village boundary should not be extended here because it is adjacent to an affordable housing exception site which specifically should not be used as a reason for further building.
I object to the development on a number of grounds as follows - 1. The site is outside the development boundary.2. The highways and roads in the village are inadequate and cannot support the current volumes of traffic let alone any further development and give rise to safety issues and risks. 3. In particular on this site Nichols Rd is very narrow and would not allow a safe access. 4. Roads and hedgerows in the village have already been damaged by traffic this further development would make it worse. 5. This particular site is in an elevated position and will affect the character and structure of the village in a material way. 6. The site is adjacent to an affordable housing site that was only given planning permission as an exception site - we were given assurances that by building this it would not be relevant to a boundary extension. 7. The village has restricted bus service so any any more housing would increase vehicle movements.
