Full text:

This village has very poor road access as can be seen by the increasing damage to roadside verges and the almost impossibility of traveling in any direction without pulling in somewhere, any new houses will increase traffic and accelerate the erosion of road edges. To describe the bus service as limited is an exaggeration, it is useless for working people.Whilst the football club is shown as an amenity all the players live outside the village and travel, therefore not an amenity.The site is on a curving bend so will be difficult to access and on the narrower part of Wheel Road, it will have an impact on the listed property at Staceys Cottage Reeders Lane. This village has no shop and no street lighting and very few pavements so it makes residents reliant on the car. Put plainly some of the base facts are misleading or have changed and on purely traffic basis the roads are totally inadequate either for more cars and the lorries required for building.The school is at capacity and cannot expand.
