- loss of well used allotments, reducing village amenities
- need to preserve green village environment

Full text:

Small villages are part of England's heritage and should not be extended.

Two additional houses each with adequate on-site parking space for at least three vehicles may, if sympathetically executed, be acceptable, but Breachwood Green does not have the infrastructure to support sixteen new houses. If built, this scale of development would further increase the serious congestion on The Heath and Heath Road resulting from on-street parking. It would also result in the loss of well used allotments further reducing village amenities: in an age when we should preserve our green village environment, this loss is unacceptable.
