Despite ongoing attempts to introduce traffic calming measures, traffic still travels frequently too fast through the village. The proposed development is on the opposite side of the main road through the village from the play area / recreation ground. Increased numbers of residents, especially children will be crossing this road with no safe safe point to cross - especially accounting for the increased traffic that the additional houses will bring.
Whilst there is a footpath from the proposed development to the school, it is not possible to walk anywhere else in the village via a footpath.
Less houses, leading to less increase in traffic volume.
A safer means of crossing the main road through the village. Pedestrian crossing?
More footpaths e.g. from Hockering Lane to the postbox, from the bridge to the pub.
