CDC would appear to be proposed 30% more homes which would highly strain the current infrastructure including:
GP surgery and pharmacy, school, grocery shop, roads, pavements and drainage. All these are currently inadequate to deal with the proposed increase in housing. They would be strained beyond capacity. GP waiting times and staffing levels are already a problem which would deteriorate even more. An increase in traffic within the village would firstly be unmanageable due to the congestion it would cause. It would also be dangerous to health and safety of public due to narrow or in some areas no pavements, and increased pollution.
Either prevention of the proposed increase in housing or adequate increase and provision for all the previously listed infrastructure would be required.
