A group of developers are planning to build up to 115 houses on land between South Stoke Road and Behoes Lane in one of the most beautiful parts of our village. There are only around 1,000 houses in Woodcote, we do not believe our village can take an expansion of over 10% in one development. This development would destroy the essentially rural character of our surroundings and put unsustainable pressure on our limited resources and road network. It is totally inappropriate. We are against development of any sort on this site.

Seeing so many of you join this effort confirms that I am not the only one terrified of losing the quiet paths where I walk my dogs every day. This momentum shows the developers that our village will not allow them to pave over the character of our home so easily.

Why do they keep trying to shove these houses in spots that clearly cannot support them? its greedy and reckless.

10% expansion is insane. the local schools and doctors are already packed enough as it is. leave our village alone.

The traffic down South Stoke Road is already dangerous at peak times and this will just make it a total nightmare.

Woodcote is lovely as it is. 115 houses is way to many for our roads to handle. please stop this
