The Draft Local Plan indicates there should be a preference for redevelopment of Brownfield sites. However, the proposed C01/H site is within designated Greenbelt. The implementation of this development will impact on the local wildlife and have a visual impact that will be detrimental to those that already live in the area. The area is already blighted with heavy traffic, especially at the start and end of the school and working day. The limited public transport connections mean that additional development will further increase the numbers driving in contradiction to the Council’s aim of reducing the use of private transport. This will be further impacted by the other development proposed in the immediate area including SH4/H, SH5/H, SH6/H and NW19/H. Therefore, I am objecting on the grounds of environmental and social impact.
