Full text:

Driving in the area around Deards lane is already difficult and the roads will not cope with this increased traffic. This will also result in removal of the green belt and loss of valuable green spaces. In addition the number of houses proposed will increase the size of the village considerably and no credible has been put in place for schooling/doctors (already nearly impossible to get an appointment). The current drainage cannot cope with heavy rainfall with newer houses already liable to flooding.
