Representation ID: 16380

Respondent: Eloise Hall
Would add further strain to the community:
1. Schools over-subscribed;
2. Peak time traffic cannot withstand further cars – from environmental perspective and cause inconvenience to pedestrians;
3. Destroying high quality agricultural land;
4. Loss of important wildlife habitats and cause harm to the natural eco-system;
5. Destroying natural field patterns;
6. Visually damaging the landscape/setting;
7. Would be no open space, changing the feel of the community/area;
8. Additional people/cars poses road safety risks;
9. Threatens town centre’s vitality/viability;
10. Better alternatives available – plenty brownfield/other green belt land that would less impact.
Area is at maximum capacity. Land is currently a conservation area, although this will expire, it does not change its outstanding natural beauty- needs to remain as it is.
Expect that having outdoor space would be paramount in future and Council not to consider cramming more people into small villages. Need space/distance – adding more people to a stretched community is not right decision.
Removing Green Belt will have detrimental effect on individual’s mental health and community.
