I am writing to vigorously object to the proposed development of the planned 200 houses and 40 bed care home for Honeypot Lane.
As you are fully aware, previous applications for development on this site were rejected as this did not meet the council spatial strategy for metropolitan greenbelt land, and as far as we are aware, nothing has changed.
The road infrastructure would be incapable of dealing with the additional traffic this development would cause.
There would also be a huge increase demand on local schools and doctor surgeries. The doctor's surgery, which we are patients, for this area is already over stretched with it taking an average 6 weeks to get an appointment.
On a personal note, we made a decision to move to this area 5 years ago, because of its community spirit and village feel, along with the open space which we understood to be green belt and as such guarded for such a development.
Since moving in we have enjoyed many evening and weekend walks observing the local wildlife and scenery offered by greenbelt land. This would be lost with the proposed development.
If we wanted to live in the middle of a housing estate, we would have stayed where we previously lived!
Although we fully appreciate the ongoing demand for housing, this development would completely change the character of this area. As such we cannot stress strongly enough our objection to this proposed development.
