The plan to create a large housing development of 1200 houses plus the proposed accompanying structures, namely, supermarket, pub, community centre, school. cemetery and recreational areas is tantamount to developing a self sufficient satellite settlement which will encroach upon the tranquility and rural nature of the old part of Scraptoft. Traffic flow, already a problem in the village centre, will become worse as will light and noise pollution from the new development. There are limited employment opportunities in Scraptoft for people living within the proposed development thus forcing most people to commute .
