Whilst we welcome a move away from the Category One designation with an expectation of 100 new homes we still believe that the proposed 70-90 extra homes is GROSSLY in excess of local need and will inevitably overload our school and/or cause extra "educational commuting". Furthermore the increased numbers will increase car dependency and given our limited public transport will particularly disadvantage the people expected to occupy the 40% affordable homes which will be grossly in excess of such local need as identified in several Housing Needs Surveys carried out over the last several years.
