Representation ID: 28587

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Member of Parliament (Conservative)

Agent: Deborah Davies

Representation Summary:

SH4/H – Glenview Drive, Bankfield Road, Nab Wood (164)

I object to the inclusion of this land because:

• It is green belt.
• It is close to New Close Farm, a 17th century Grade II listed house.
• There would be detrimental effects on wildlife.
• The report acknowledges there would be "adverse effects on most natural environment themed sustainability objectives", a risk of pollution of several watercourses on site and a "significant adverse affect on air quality".
• The concrete and tarmac will also remove a soakaway, channelling on site water downhill towards areas prone to flooding.
• Nearby roads are already congested.
• The report acknowledges there is a “large area of priority woodland within site and the remainder of the site may be valuable and other priority habitats may be present”.
