The 2 selected sites give all that is needed in our village.
The late proposal to resurrect the already discount Station Rd site using an attempt to influence the locals by provision of a "Village Green" is simply a very feeble attempt to open up a new parcel of land to future development consideration once the village green aspect has become tired.

The reason given for selecting site 1 and not site 3 as the preferred option is absurd. It is not sufficient to say that WCC Highways Dept have access concerns with site 3, when it is obvious to everyone that access to the land off Oakdene Crescent is far worse, being a narrow entrance, with existing parking and safety problems which will worsen with more houses. There is I believe much support for this view.

Site 1 reasons for objection:
1. Greenbelt.
2. Important habitat for protected species.
3. Drainage.
4. Adverse effect on my land to the south and its use for horses.
5. Unsuitability of local roads and junctions to cope with the increased traffic flow.
Sites 2/3 as represented in the Parish Council response.
Option 1, Oakdene Crescent
1.The site is Green Belt, CPRE have confirmed their objection to potential reclassification.
2.The site is an important habitat for protected species. As owner of the land to the south boundary, slow worms and grass snakes have been observed in this area on many occasions. Bats are also a regular sight every evening.
3.Drainage- building would potentially increase the run off of surface water to my land and make it unusable, the lower end already floods in heavy rain.
4. Building would surround my paddock with housing estate on 3 sides, having an adverse effect on its current use for horses. The proposed new Settlement boundary leaves my paddock as Greenbelt but surrounded by housing on 3 sides, hardly a suitable environment for livestock. I am also concerned for the welfare of the animals next to a building site for a prolonged period as horses can be nervous animals.
5.Concerns re the suitability of the roads and junctions in the area to cope with an increased traffic flow.
Options 2 and 3, I object to these proposals for the reasons given in the Parish Council's representation.

There are no facilities within easy walking distance; the canal path to Shrewley is extremely muddy and dangerous.
The lanes are narrow and in a poor state. Additional traffic would serve to worsen this issue.
No mains gas available; more oil tankers will increase traffic problems and deterioration of road surfaces and verges.
Existing sewage problems have necessitated tankers to dispose of sewage that the system cannot cope with.
Additional development will increase the strain on emergency services responses, which are already down to an unacceptable level.
Any development should be in line with the Parish Council's suggestion.

-The proposed development encroaches on the Green Belt and on areas that contain wildlife and recreational land.
-The land is of high environmental value and residents are concerned about what is considered protected space.
-Sewage and drainage systems are currently at capacity and there are concerns about the level of provision for other utilities such as electricity and broadband.
-Community facilities and services such as schools, shops, roads and transport may not be able to safely absorb additional residents.
-The circumstances that have given rise to the development of the Green Belt need to be made clear.
