A solution must be found to the traffic problem in the centre of the village between the railway crossing and the shop, before there is any more housing development within the village. A charge could be introduced in the car park, starting at half-an-hour free and increasing to a substantial amount, to enable people to visit the shop, station or bakery and to deter outsiders. Some residents parking would need to be provided in local roads to prevent the problem moving to other places within the village. I am aware of several older residents, who currently occupy four and five bed family homes, who would like to move (not necessarily downsize to a small box) within the village. The accommodation needs to be central to the village, and easily maintained. It also needs to be flexible, with features such as a third reception room that could be used as a bedroom, a cloakroom with a shower, plenty of cupboard space, and stairs that can easily be adapted to take a chair lift, while still having good sized rooms and space for family and friends to stay.

Excellent and well written document, in full agreement to all of the proposals (Edited: 2015/07/15 at 7:36 pm Paul Holland)
The 50 house limit to Bramley development as outlined in the Neighbourhood Plan seems to be entirely appropriate to an area with the limited infrastructure available within this parish.
