I fully support the comments made in the recent submission by Burley Parish Council on the overall proposals. I'm particularly concerned about the impact that the proposed 610 homes will have on village infrastructure. The Sun Lane development will in itself have a very significant negative impact on; currently overstretched schooling provision; currently overstretched medical services; currently (in non-pandemic times) packed trains at peak commuting times and associated inadequate parking provision at the station car park; and overall traffic volumes. Rectification of these infrastructure issues MUST HAPPEN in advance of large housing developments creating the foreseen problems NOT once they've happened. It's high time that the Council Planners listened to and acted upon the comments and views of the people who live in the village and worked with us to find solutions to issues like housing not against our wishes, which seems to be the case, as this just leads to ill-feeling.
