I object on the grounds of:
- destruction of established woodland with Tree Preservation Orders and naturally developing mixed woodland with a negative impact on the response to the climate emergency, a reduction in biodiversity and negative impact on achieving the government target of increasing woodland cover by 12% by 2060.
- increased traffic on quiet residential streets already used as rat runs, with many speeding cars; totally unsuitable for construction traffic; negative impact on air quality as acknowledged
- impact on wildlife from large mammals (deer, fox, badger) downwards, birdlife and bats.
- local infrastructure - document claims positive effect re education, but is that really the case when considered with other proposed neighbouring developments (SH5/H, SH6/H, CO1/H, NW19/H), with a total of 808 properties, when local primary and secondary schools are already full and oversubscribed? Same question applies to GP and dental surgeries and local shops.
