The properties at Honey Pot Drive face out across a beautiful view which would be lost if these sites were developed.

I understand the need to provide more housing. However this land is green belt and should remain so. It is so important to maintain green space between housing, both from an aesthetic point of view but very importantly to allow space for wildlife, and to provide grassland to soak up rainwater to mitigate flooding.

Concreting over this area with housing will add to water run off in a hilly area and will inevitably cause flood damage.

As a general point the Council should exhaust all brownfield options for houses before using green field sites. I have no evidence that the Council has exhausted such options and therefore I will continue to object to this unnecessary removal of green space, until this is removed from the Plan.
