The main concern expressed by the committee was the speed of cars coming into the village from Osgodby with Cllr Broadbent and Cllr Swiers asking for the speed limit on North Lane to be reduced from 40 to 30mph.

Cllr Green, who represents the ward, also said he was “extremely worried” about the risk of flooding, which he said was due to the drain running along the northern boundary of the site overtopping almost every year, and the ability of the sewage system to cope.

The application has been deferred to allow the issues raised by councillors to be thoroughly investigated.
