The village does not have the infrastructure to accommodate the new houses. There is no doctors surgery and the local primary school does not have the capacity to accommodate the potential numbers of children from 100-150 properties (should sites 49 and 328 also be released from the green belt). The A3400 is used as a diversion for both the M40 and M42 and as such Hockley Heath experiences frequent congestion along the A3400 and connecting routes, with School Road being used to bypass congestion on the A3400.

The additional houses would increase noise pollution for existing residents and destroy a small wildlife habitat.

School road itself is a village lane, with no public footpath in parts. It could not sustain the extra houses given Hockley Heath has already been expanded recently
