There are two sites close to each other SW/088 and SW/066. Given the proximity of these two sites, the impact of building on both sites should be considered when reviewing the impact on the local community, roads infrastructure etc.

I object to this development, due to the loss of greenbelt land and the proximity of preferred option SW28/H which is a brown field site.

I have concerns that the new development will have a negative impact on the other woodland areas and the biodiversity around the new development site. There has to be a balance between maintaining the existing character of the community and any new development. This development is too close to the existing grade two listed buildings and other wooded areas.

Coal mining has historically been undertaken in the area, so subsidence could be an issue. You should know that this land floods in winter.
