No development of any kind should be proposed for the current green belt, there is an area of brown field site which could accommodate part development, but family housing would continue to be unsuitable due to the lack of facilities. More information should be provided regarding volumes and management of traffic through the village, particularly regarding the narrow canal bridge and blind spot on the Hampton side of the bridge. More information should be given about how the village could sustain such an influx of people. And there should be a proper community engagement.

I fully support the objections submitted by the Hampton In Arden PC and Catherine-De-Barnes Residents Association.
To add, I don't feel there's been community involvement for this policy. Whilst I've been able to make a submission regarding the Care Home proposal on this site, I've not been able to comment about a housing proposal or removing this land from the green belt. This plot is the gateway to Catherine-De- Barnes and as such should be protected. It's been noted in the past that this plot is unsuitable for family housing and nothing has changed since that date, particularly regarding schools.
