100 houses representing a 12% increase in the size of the settlement is not a limited and proportionate expansion. School Road and Saddlers Well Lane are inadequate. There is no exceptional reason to remove the site from the Green Belt. The site is a haven of wildlife and flora immediately adjoining the wildlife corridor of the canal. Housing would devastate the existing ecosystem as well as causing substantial light and air pollution.The Green Belt assessment fails to take into account the distinctiveness of the canal providing quiet enjoyment and pastimes to the many people who already frequent the blue network.
