The proposal is for the construction of 300 homes during the current Plan period, plus safeguarded land to the south of the village for the construction of a further 200-300 homes after 2030. Whilst the proposals include some community benefits, the Parish Council remain strongly opposed to this proposal on the grounds that it: represents an excessive level of development for a Local Service Centre; would have a major detrimental effect on the green belt; would heavily increase congestion in the village centre; exert further pressure on parking infrastructure, which is already at breaking point; is environmentally unsustainable; is unnecessary development, as the need for additional housing can be met through the other sites proposed, at much less harmful impact upon the greenbelt.
