Proposed developments not situated near public transport or essential services/infrastructure, thus adding to private car usage and existing congestion/pollution issues.

Area previously given special landscape character status - provides benefits for health and wellbeing of residents. Development will ruin character of area and threaten to downgrade adjacent Green Belt. Poor infrastructure in area will amplify existing air quality/congestion issues.
