Whilst it is appreciated that some development must take place, the locations of the proposed developments and the excessive use of Green Belt land make the preferred allocations impossible to support. Some of these sites individually are reasonable but when considering them as a whole the impacts on highways alone, particularly the A644, is enough to warrant objection. Not only will they cause serious congestion, which itself will have significant environmental and health impacts, there is a lack of safety measures on the A644 to get residents safely onto the High Street.

Queensbury has seen a significant number of houses built of the past 20 – 30 years with very little infrastructure to support the growth. In my opinion, Queensbury has expanded almost to full capacity in terms of land available (if you are proactively avoiding building on Green Belt) and should not be marked as a ‘Local Growth Centre’.
