I agree with the current settlement limit and it should not be extended.
Development outside this limit should be discouraged unless it has the support of the community and there is a demonstrated need.
Brooke does not have a supermarket, Doctors Surgery, Dentist, Bank, or Post Office; the primary school is at capacity and there is no high school. These services will need to be accessed outside the village by motor vehicle (or home deliveries). Further expansion of the village will not help reduce vehicle journeys to minimise climate change and will put further traffic on an already busy road.
