Roads - congestion is already problematic in the local area. this will add to the issues - there is no space for new main roads!
Pollution - This will inevitably increase, we have chosen to live on the fringe of the countryside to avoid pollution, not to have measures imposed which increase traffic and pollution.
Car parking for schools - The addition of so many more homes means more pupils, and more cars driving to schools. It's already very dangerous in the morning with limited parking near schools. The new homes will worsen this.
School admission - Schools locally are already over-subscribed. Please don't impinge on our children's physical well being by expanding schools by building on their playing fields.
NHS - Its already very difficult to get a GP appointment. Where are the additional NHS + facilities being placed / recruited from for the increased local population?!
Loss of Green Belt - The plan talks about the importance of green belt to protect wildlife, prevent urban sprawl and provide us with a place to enjoy the countryside. The housing plan completely goes against these principals. The impact on wildlife and humans alike will be devastating.

Please reconsider the proposal to build these houses.
