I am writing to vigorously object to the proposed development of the planned 200 houses and 40 bed care home for Honey Pot Lane.
Previous applications for development on this site have been refused as this did not meet the Councils spatial strategy for metropolitan Green Belt 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 be a huge increase demand on local schools and doctor surgeries. The GP for this area is already overstretched with it taking an average of 6 weeks to get an appointment.
On a personal note, we moved here 5 years ago because of its community spirit and feel, along with the open space which we understood to be green belt and as such guarded from such a development.
Since moving in we have enjoyed walks observing the local wildlife and scenery offered by green belt 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 appreciate the ongoing demand for housing, this development would completely change the character of this area. As such we object to this development.
