The proposal is far too big for the village in terms of infrastructure in particularly traffic, School demand. As a governor at the primary school demand often outstrips supply for children of the village and we try to accommodate, with this development the school would have to become a 2 form entry school and not only would that change the culture of the school it would add significant pressures on access to it.
Cars are often parked preventing access around school drop off time and with the regular lorries from the quarry the road becomes impassable at times.
Cowards lane (restricted with size limits) is not suitable for this development nor the other proposed site CD1, as a daily user of this road it is often a car shuffle between drive ways to pass each other. By increasing demand for this lane it will only make matters worse. The junction to Codicote Road is also not suitable for increased traffic flow.
