New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 38612

Received: 07/09/2021

Respondent: Mrs Grace Praill

Representation Summary:

I feel that further development of this area will be at a detriment to local infrastructure, particularly schools. My particular concern is the development of the area behind Hockley Primary School. This school would suffer the burden of extra places, and if expanded would destroy its character as the local village school. I also feel over development of the Betts Farm area will negatively impact on environmental health. The increase in traffic will increase harmful emissions in an area where children will be playing and learning. I feel this development will also encroach on the area of nearby ancient woodland.
