The site chosen will cause the most disruption to the local community and adversely affect the lives of residents bordering the development , not only during the building procedure but after the estate is completed . The infrastructure is simply not good enough to cope . The development is far to big to be completed all at once and should be split into two or three phases so that the village can slowly grow and problems can be addressed by the council , residents and utility companies as they arise . It would be beneficial if local residents are asked to comment on their village as they actually live there .
art from two public houses and a supermarket , which is closed on Sunday . No dentist or doctors surgery and no nursery provision for working families .There is limited employment opportunities and people either have to travel to larger conurbations or far afield as London . Some work in agriculture or country management and others work from home . The bus service runs every two hours and finishes at 7.00 pm . There is no service on Sunday so local residents rely heavily on their own transport . The primary school will struggle to accommodate a 15% increase in places . The sewerage system can't cope already with the population and the smell , at times , is unbearable . Rainfall creates a river down Main Street running from the higher ground . Mobile coverage is intermittent and broadband is not reliable . The entry to the estate is dangerous as it is close to a brow of a hill and struggles to conform to Highways Authority rules and reccomendations , and will require CPO's of neighbouring properties land .
My preferred sites are PS5 , PS6 and PS7s
