New Road is particularly narrow, there is no pedestrian footpath and we already experience diminishing verges caused by heavy vehicles driving over them. It is a dangerous road for pedestrians. There is a blind bend and an issue with speeding traffic. Unless the houses are in a row it wouldn't be in keeping with the linear nature of New Road . The junction into The Street is dangerous, with visibility and cars cutting the corner.
There are mature trees down the centre of the site. The site provides habitat for hares, owls and deer.
The road needs to be made wider. A pedestrian footpath needs to be installed on both sides of the road. Better policing of the speed limit needs to be carried out. The New Road/The Street junction needs to be widened and visibility needs to be improved.
