Full text:

The proposal is unsound for the following reasons
There has been no response from the Council regarding the traffic congestion that would be caused by such large scale development.
Similarly no consideration has been given to the access to construction traffic via small lanes and over a narrow railway bridge.
There is significant risk of damage or destruction of wildlife sites on the adjacent site of special scientific interest.
When taken into consideration with the proposed further construction in Woolmer Green there will be removal of the Green Belt buffer between the villages.
