Westham Lane is a private road so would need a CPO and widening, which will have adverse visual impact.
CPO would be required for the farmer's land as he does not wish to sell it.
Water voles, a protect species, are on the site.
Bronze Age burial site have been discovered in the vicinity.
Access on to the Bypass would be dangerous and there are no pedestrian crossing points for access to the village.
Site has no storm/foul sewer facilities.
Site is at medium risk of flooding.
No GP in the village.
Seems contradictory given difficulty existing residents have extending properties to then allocate this site in Westham Lane. Will have an adverse impact on the landscape.
This development would contradict Rural Area Policies on new housing, employment, safeguarding rural roads, camping and caravan sites.
Will affect property prices and have a negative effect on the village as well as causing noise and disturbance.
