This area currently has very few ammentities and would be unable to sustain such development. Claybrooke School is already struggling to cope with demand, both in terms of class sizes and also the impact of traffic and the dangerous parking by parents, which has increased significantly over the past few years.

There are not the emplyment opportunities in the area to support the development either. Therefore any development would become a dormitory selltlement increaseing commuting and placing futher pressure on traffic congestion, safety and air quality. The local roads are not suitbale to cope with this level of increase, particuary the intersections with the A5 at High Cross and Woodway Lane.
