The Problem

If this new surgery is built it will result in:


  • the loss of part of the Green Belt
  • an additional road junction being built close to an already busy crossroads
  • extra traffic due to the increased number of people who'll use the new surgery
  • damage to the rural landscape
  • the overshadowing of nearby bungalows and an historic listed building
  • people parking dangerously on the road due to the lack of parking spaces provided
  • a risk of further erosion of the Green Belt in a few years time when the new surgery is at capacity and needs to expand
