I do not agree with any of the sites. Catsfield is too small to cope with this level of development and none of the areas are suitable. No space at the school. sewage systems will be pushed to the maximum. The main road is too busy and dangerous without adding another road onto it, this will cause chaos. Local wildlife will be displaced from only scrubland around this area and will damage local ecosystem. Flooding will be a major concern as all areas flood already, but ate maintained at this moment due to soak away. New housing will displace all this water into a system that will not cope. Surrounding housing will be devalued.
