This is far too many houses and is simply unsustainable: poor bus service, no local shops (except in Barley, two miles away). No cycle paths and very limited footpaths ... none the length of the road to Barley and it is a dangerous, fast road.

Already too many new houses, albeit on sites within the village.

This is a sop towards sustainability.
* 140 houses means 280+ cars as there are no other means of transport
* cars will be used by parents taking children to school - in Barley and Barkway. There is daily traffic chaos outside both schools at the moment.
* Walking to Barley is almost impossible because of a lack of footpaths. Of course, parents could invest in cross-county buggies.
* Has this been sustainable transport been costed? In perpetuity, or just until the next round of cuts, or until S106 money runs out?

See above - really? This pretty much doubles the number of houses in the village.

What constitutes sustainable travel between the two sites?
School minibus + driver would cost £20k+ initial costs plus (conservatively) £6000 per annum. Will these funds go directly to the the school?

Sorry - these are weasel words.
