Full text:

1) I am concerned that there are no proposals for the relocation of the sports fields that are being removed. These must be located within this area to allow the present users easy access.

2) Traffic is a major concern the roads around this area are already very busy for most of the day. Tythe Barn Lane is already very congested in the peak times and when schools start or finish. To have another large number of houses each with possibly two cars will make the situation here chaotic to say the least. And what of the lack of parking provision on the main Dickens Heath site? People will use cars to go to the village center where parking is already in high demand. The council has already made on street parking around Dickens Heath difficult by yellow lines in many areas where parking could safely take place!

3) Another concern is flooding again in the area along Tythe Barn Lane where the road itself is often like a river during periods of heavy rainfall.
The playing fields along with the road suffer the same fate and become like marshland when deluges occur and this is where you plan to build houses. I thought housing could not be placed in areas at risk from flooding
