Speaking specifically about Clayton Heights (SW6/H, SW9/H, SW10/H and SW36/HC) which falls into Queensbury Ward, the excessive use of Green Belt Land makes the preferred allocations impossible to support.

Within Clayton Heights there is just one primary school (Stocks Lane) which has recently expanded and is already close to/at capacity. The other relatively close-by Primary School is Home Farm which is also at capacity. 95 new homes I this area has the potential to very quickly overwhelm the local education provision.

There is one GP practice close to Clayton Heights (Horton Bank) which already services a large number of patients and great care must be taken to ensure that the local health provision is not overwhelmed.

This site is on Green Belt land and the development would have a significant impact on the area.

The access road is unsuitable and normally congested by parked cars. This size of development would very quickly cause problems that are unsolvable.

Although this is Green Belt land, supporting such a small number of houses would normally be quite reasonable. The issue with this development is that the immediate area is a local beauty attraction and these houses stand alone in the middle of that.

Access to this site is dependent on the agreement of the developer at an adjoining site. There are no guarantees that the adjoining development will be delivered nor that access will be granted to this site via that development.

This site is on Green Belt land, is in an area with a large number of listed heritage buildings and is too close to both the Primary School directly opposite and a large well-used park with sports facilities next to the school.

Stocks Lane is a very narrow road which is noted in the document. It also provides vehicle and pedestrian access to Stocks Lane Primary School which would make increasing traffic a significant safety concern given its size. Traffic calming measures would help with vehicle access but would not solve issues for pedestrians as the road is not wide enough for a suitable footpath.

This site is close to a local beauty attraction but is a very low number of houses that will be close to the roadside.
