Part of site BL1, land west of Dickens Heath and south of Tythe Barn Lane should be deleted from the Plan.

The land for approx. 100 dwellings north of Tythe Barn Lane has fewer constraints so could be allocated but only at the end of the Plan period when other lesser grade Green Belt land has been developed.

BL1 is in a high performing Green Belt area (7 &8).

The Sustainability Appraisal is inaccurate.

The sports fields should be retained.

There are other more sustainable sites in a sequential test.

The character and setting of the Village will be adversely affected.

Many Local Wildlife Sites and Ancient Woodland and their connectivity compromised.

Traffic congestion exacerbated. Narrow, rural roads.

Village Centre parking problem cannot be solved just by controlling some on-street parking.

Site not within a recognised walking distance (800m) from the Village Centre facilities.
