I object to the scale of the proposed site of the Sun Lane development. The scale will substantially change the character of the village. The environmental impact of the development - given prevalence of car ownership and development on Greenbelt land which will result habitat loss - there is inadequate provision for the detrimental environmental impact a development of this scale will have during our climate crises. Furthermore, existing infrastructure is at capacity; road, rail, schooling, and healthcare and I am not convinced that the provisions outlined here will provide suitable capacity. Simply put, the plan recognizes the lack of non-green belt land in Burley which is a clear indicator that the village could not support an increase in population of this magnitude. A significantly smaller development on the same site would be more feasible.
