Object to the allocation of this greenfield site. There are considerable 'brown field' sites standing idle e.g. the sugar beet factory in Sproughton, Hadleigh Road Industrial site, etc. Power lines and a gas pipeline cross the site. Development would have a significant visual impact on the area. There is already congestion so significant new infrastructure would be needed. Development would impact on wildlife and protected species including badgers and slow worms, pollute the air and land, harm Whitton conservation area and destroy pathways. The land has significant drainage issues and includes medieval hedgerows. Claydon and Whitton will lose their identity.
