The congestion around school drop and pick up times is just one factor. The traffic is increasing generally at all times, there is increased speeding down School Road and the village just cannot sustain further development.
To add at least 100 houses to a small village with no chemist, doctors surgery, one small shop is causing problems. It will destroy the village nature of Hockley Heath and just attract further commuter traffic. We have a small school which will be unlikely to accommodate those numbers.
