- Proposed single access point to Cock St is so close to B1108 that likely to endanger highway safety.
- No reason for pedestrian footway to connect Cock St with Back Lane, which is a narrow rural road. Link would not provide additional access to local footpath network. Back Lane unsuitable for significant pedestrian use.
- Concern over likely damage to heritage assets.
- Wish to see a severe limit on height of any houses to prevent housing from dominating beautiful and ancient centre of village.
- Density of proposed housing considerably greater than at present. This development will badly damage amenity of Barford, particularly on entering from west.
- Any contamination survey should be undertaken before any permissions are granted.
- No consideration given to flood risk associated with run off. Assessment must apply to additional run off into village and valley where flooding of dwellings more likely. Impact on sewage release into gardens and homes must be considered.
