WP/2012/0165/OM - 124 new dwellings and medical centre land west of 123 High Street - the following objections were raised from the Parish Council:

1)  Information supplied regarding the sewage issues seem unconvincing
as there are currently sewage problems within the village that have
constantly failed to be rectified.  To add a further 124 homes to this
could greatly exacerbate the problems.  There was also concern
regarding the supply of water, gas and electricity to a further large
building development.

2)  Increase of traffic would increase the noise

3)  The development would increase traffic flow particularly access
through the village at High Street, Station Road corner and at the
short slipway onto the A45

4)  The development is outside the village policy line therefore
building would take place on green belt land

5)  The land to be developed is currently agricultural land which
would be a loss to the village

6)  The land in question to be developed is just a small area of the
site and it is felt that should this development take place then it
would set a president for further development near and around the
site.

7)  It was felt that the infrastructure of the primary and secondary
schools would not be able to cope with the potential increase in
children created by the development

8)  It was felt that the medical centre being on the outskirts of the
village could cause problems for some residents, particularly the
elderly and disabled as there is no direct bus route to the site

9)  Concern was raised regarding the need and siting of the pond
especially next to a LEAP play area

10) It was felt that the archaeological area covered was not wide
enough as historical remains could be found within the area to be
developed

11) The development would have an impact on the current wildlife
particularly the skylark, partridges and owls.

12) There is no direct bus route near or to the site

13) The access road to the Sports Association via Alfred Street is
unsuitable for the current volume of traffic and further development
of the site would exacerbate the current problem

14)  The village currently does not have the required national
standard of 25 acres for sporting facilities so additional land would
be required to meet this figure
