SOCS query the viability of the Red House site because of flood risk, high ground water, TPOs, biological features, archaeology and the need to adequately buffer noise from the railway. Any playing pitches would need to be located on flat, well drained land. Also the whole Northern Fringe site involves the loss of best and most versatile agricultural land. SOCS further query the adequacy of Westerfield Road to accommodate the traffic from housing, the secondary school, the district centre and so on. It is unsustainable and may be unsafe.
