Object to KB2 on the grounds of:
- Green Belt - removal of buffer to the west of the village
- narrow roads
- existing congestion due to parked cars
- insufficient parking at the station
- highway safety, especially at narrow railway bridges
I object to this development as it's on Green Belt land and it would remove the buffer to the west of the village. The roads accessing the village are all very narrow with existing congestion already due to the large number of parked cars, with insufficient parking at the station for commuters who then park on the various side roads. This increases the risk of accidents occurring and more housing with extra traffic will only aggravate the situation. Current traffic levels have already lead to accidents at both narrow railway bridges, unsuitable for heavy traffic, leading to the B197.
