We fully support new housing as long as it is built somewhere we cannot see it

We are absolutely committed to solving the housing crisis. Everyone deserves an affordable home. This is a fundamental value of our party and we will never waver from it.

However.

The proposed development on the field behind Waitrose would fundamentally alter the character of the village, increase traffic on Church Lane, and cast a shadow over the community orchard between the hours of 3pm and 4:15pm in late November. We have commissioned an independent light study to confirm this.

We are not against development. We just think it should happen in a location that doesnt affect parking, property values, the view from our kitchen, local traffic, school places, or the habitat of the lesser spotted newt that someone on the parish council claims to have seen in 2019.

Somewhere up north, perhaps. They have loads of space.
