Residents have been responding to plans for Whittington, near Oswestry, that were lodged with Shropshire Council last month.at the 55-hectare site off the B5009 on the eastern edge of the village.
However, some residents have raised concerns about the impact the development would have on the small village.While some have expressed their worries about the impact on their house prices and the disruption caused by the building of the new properties, all four objectors have listed traffic as a major concern.
Other residents agreed, with Mrs Cox writing:"The main road entrance to the proposed site is off an already congested area with junctions to other developments and also the main junction onto the A495 Station Road/Oswestry Road."Traffic uses this junction 24 hours a day with large lorries going past regularly. The area has no crossing for pedestrians to get to the shops. There is inadequate provision for wheelchair users due to the narrow footpaths in that part of the village.
Another respondent, Mrs Reid, said:"The proposed additional housing development would also increase traffic numbers through the village which is already very busy, especially in the rush hours and school morning and tea times."
