Having reviewed the second local housing plan, I would like to register my strong objection to the proposed plan as the consequences of this level of development would have a detrimental effect on people getting to work, schools, hospitals and shops. In addition, the ability for the police, ambulance and fire services to undertake their duties would be severely impacted. I would like to propose that the number of new houses be reduced to 3,500 over the next 20 years, equating to 175 a year, which is more than the government target the growth we need for our own local needs. The development on Greenbelt land on the proposed sites will also lead to the current individual communities to lose their identities and result in yet more urban sprawl.
