Hutton & Ingrave development.

I want to protest at the idea of building on Creaseys farm and the Bluebell wood. These are areas of outstanding natural beauty and should be retained in Huttonas arable land. I believe the traffic infrastructure from the Hutton side cannot cope with thousands of vehicles driving down narrow country lanes. I want to keep the rural nature of the area and support the Green Belt. I was shocked at the size of the development compared with that around the borough.

I think the "Town Centre First" approach should be retained as there are carparking and bus services already well established. I don't want large areas of the town centre vacant as in previous years. I spotted the park and ride in Wash Road and I am not sure whether it would be used.

I rate the landscape near where I live to be 5 in all cases.
The landscape near me contains farmland 4, woodland 3,wildlife-(ponds)2 and the cricket/football clubs for leisure facilities 2.

I would ask you to think again about the size and nature of the Creaseys Farm/ Bluebell wood development as it is an area of natural beauty and hilly.
