Do not support the selection of this site ahead of others given both the disproportionate impact on local green belt amenity and specifically the impact on a Grade 2 listed heritage asset. Amount of land to be taken out of green belt is far greater than that required for the volume of houses proposed, suggesting a greater volume of housing will be proposed at a later stage in the planning process. Only land required for the final planned development should be released. Poorly located for transport and schools, necessitating car based travel. Safety concerns associated with junction of Windmill Lane/A452.

In particular it seems that the amount of land proposed to be taken out of greenbelt is far greater than that required for the volume of houses proposed which leads me to question whether in reality a greater volume of housing will be proposed at a later stage in the planning process. To prevent such development creep only land required for the final planned development should be released.
In addition the location of the site is well away from transport and educational amenities which will of necessity again increase vehicle flow within the village and also increase safety concerns on the exiting of traffic from Windmill Lane to the A452.
