• There would have to be substantial works to the existing sewage system for the increased flow/demand – this possibly includes increased bore piping and additions to the sewage works – this would have to include downstream facilities otherwise the lower village will suffer more overflow – this happens now as the existing system’s capacity is already exceeded
• Substantial and sustainable arrangements would have to be included to ENSURE that there are no run off issues for the surrounding existing properties. The current Lessors/Lessees of the playing field already have a responsibility to ensure the surface water run-off is controlled and this responsibility will increase manyfold. At times over the past 20 years the fulfilment of this responsibility has been found to be wanting
• The exit from the new development will cause a busy staggered junction which is over run at School times. Visibility is already a problem and this new arrangement would add further issues, the solution would have to be traffic control which would not be welcomed by the village.
• There are a number of elderly villagers who walk their dogs around the playing field at the moment and the additional distance of the new proposed site for the field may become an issue so an area of grassland at the front of the development would be required. The absence of such facilities currently enjoyed may increase the incidence of soiled pavements – shouldn’t but reality is that it will.
