We wish to register our strong objection to these proposals.

They constitute significant loss of greenbelt land contradicting the NPPF and the council’s key plan directions. These should only be used in exceptional circumstances; we feel this does not fit that criteria.

There are existing water courses through the field and local area, building on this land will increase the risk of flooding in this area and other residential areas further downhill.

The number of new houses proposed will bring an increase in the level of traffic on roads in Nab Wood, with a seriously damaging increase in noise and air pollution.

The development increases the burden on availability of school places, already oversubscribed in the area, and access to other amenities, such as GP surgeries.

Building on the land will cause a damaging loss of wildlife habitat. The area supports deer, badgers, owls, bats amongst others.
