I agree with the choice of option 1 for the location of new housing and the arguments put forward in support of this choice. However, I do not agree that the number of houses to be built should be as large as 75, i.e. the specified capacity of the site. I understand that this is a 28% increase, and the largest in the county. An earlier figure of 35 houses could be absorbed into the village with much less impact on its character, leaving capacity for additional housing on this site at a later date if this is unavoidable.
