Respondent: Suzanne Kissin

Representation Summary:

Environmentally speaking, building all these extra houses will have a detrimental impact, bringing more traffic into the area (and therefore more pollution) and the actual process of the building work itself will also create pollution. Roads do not have the capacity to take all these extra vehicles which will be inevitable with so many extra households. Our public transport is also not efficient enough to cope. Greentbelt should be protected and not developed.

I object to these proposals because our green belt is precious and valuable. Environmentally speaking, building all these extra houses will have a detrimental impact, bringing more traffic into the area (and therefore more pollution) and the actual process of the building work itself will also create pollution. Then we will have to take into account the carbon footprint left by all the people living in those new houses, every time they use electricity or turn their heating on and every time they have their black sack rubbish collected and taken to landfill. I also object because our roads do not have the capacity to take all these extra vehicles which will be inevitable with so many extra households. Our public transport is also not efficient enough to cope.
