•This proposal would impact us and the local area substantially.
•The land is very steep and has some old TPO woodland on it which provides shelter and food for numerous wildlife, including a variety of birds such as woodpeckers/wrens. The trees help to clean/filter the pollution in the area. The wildlife enjoys shelter from the boundary hedges and the dry stone walls.
•The area has drainage issues and this would impact on that, as would the extra traffic and air pollution.
•There are a number of schools but the doctors on Ashbourne Road are unable to take new patients and it cannot cope with any extra residents. It is likely to have an impact on health and wellbeing.
•We need green spaces such as this for people to enjoy. Dog walkers as well as people enjoy the fields for recreation, especially in this Covid 19 era.
•Whilst this proposal is not a green belt site, it would be a loss of greenfield. Brownfield sites should be given priority for development first.
