1.The entrances to the proposed sites are opposite each other on a busy road and it will be hazardous to pull out onto the main road. 2.There will be an impact on several listed buildings which are very close to the proposed sites and also detrimental to the 'Domesday' character of the Village which is mentioned on the village sign- it is important to preserve the character of the village.
3. The village has no gas supply and very limited public transport so there isn't sufficient infrastructure for the development.
