Too many houses proposed. Protect the green belt and natural environment. Roads, school, doctors and services can't cope as is. Reduce planned number of houses (currently in excess of 30% increase) significantly (to around 10% increase)
Our infrastructure is unable to cope with the level of expansion and the number of houses planned for Codicote.
The roads are inadequate for the levels of traffic already experienced. There is insufficient parking available on the high street. This leads to reduced safety for pedestrians and other road users.
The school is already oversubscribed and this level of development will create still greater pressures on the school.
It is extremely difficult to get a doctors appointment at Bridge Cottage Surgery as it is and this will add significant extra pressure and adversely affect our communities access to health care. This is particularly significant as there are a high number of elderly residents in a Codicote.
Just one of the proposed sites is on a brown field site. The others are going to take away more of the green belt. This will have detrimental effect on wildlife and the environment.
I appreciate we need more houses but the proposed increase of 30% is too much for Codicote to cope with.
