1. It is completely out of keeping with the character of the village to impose such a large block of houses in one small area.
2. It will isolate newcomers, make integration into the community much more difficult and destroy the cohesiveness of the village.
3. It is the highest site of those proposed and would have the most landscape impact of all the options.
4. It is very close to the proposed HS2 railway and would receive the blast from the southern portal of the tunnel.
5. It will greatly increase traffic congestion in that local area.
