Objections to the new local plan, for the following reasons.

(1)

The land proposed for development is green belt land, and farmland, currently in use, for growing food for all of us,this is a basic requirement for sustaining life, and provides a basic and minimal need for humans to stay alive.

The loss of farmland at the current rate, posses a serious threat, and reduction of productive land, and will mean that we will not be able to provide food for our currant, and future, needs.

Doing so would be reckless, and deny the right to life.

Therefore request that a local and National impact study, should be carried out as a matter of urgency as this will show this policy is not sustainable, and not in the National and Public, Interest.

The expanding population will demand increased levels of food to be provided in the future, from the farming community, from current farmland, we therefore need to produce more food to meet those requirements not less

Once land has been taken out from food production, it becomes a permanent loss and can not be replaced in the future.

(2)

Public services are currently under pressure and are running at full capacity, strugling to meet present needs.

Schools are full to capacity in most areas.

Doctor surgeries are in the main booked out for two weeks.

Hospitals have a nine month waiting list in most instances with growing waiting lists.

There is no spare capacity.

The budget does not allow for a substantial increase in population.

(3)

Therefore request that this land be removed from the new local plan.

Would impact negatively on the local community.

Would adversely effect the environment, habitat, and wild life.

I look forward to receiving your reply.
