Access is one of the biggest problems with this development, all ways in and out of this village are extremely narrow and limited and really will not cope with more traffic. Surely all future building of this scale should lead off a main road?

We strongly object to this development. 1) The village facilities cannot sustain any more large scale development. 2) Already supporting outlying villages for Doctors, P.O., Dentist etc. 3) This is greenbelt & agricultural land

I object to this site as a bridle way runs through the top end of the proposed development, and in the future residents of this new site will then complain about it being used as a bridleway. todays development residents are tomorrows objectors! I know this will happen by experience!

Weedon has had more than its fair share of development over recent years which has stretched the capacity of local services. To now suggest building on virgin Greenfield outside the village building line would be outrageous.

I would urge the Council and Planning Inspecorate to hold off any speculative development until the completion of the Joint Core Strategy and Local Plans that will ensure building takes place in appropriate locations and at an appropriate pace.

Today I went to look at a little house on New Croft which I was about to put in an offer for when I spotted a neighbour and asked about the area. I was stunned to hear about the development that would destroy the beautiful countryside at the rear of the property. Needless to say I have changed my mind. I feel sorry for residents whose house prices will plummet when they lose the surrounding countryside to a modern housing development.

The village has to grow, this is something I truly believe, however it needs to be in areas which will not push, already over loaded streets. With the bypass plans in place surely there are areas on the outskirts of the village that can be infilled next to the A45/A5
