New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 39152

Received: 20/09/2021

Respondent: Mrs Susan Burman

Representation Summary:

Site CFS194 needs to be protected from developers.
It is productive farmland which would be lost forever. We should be producing more of our own food not building over agricultural land.
Site CFS194 and adjacent sites are full of wildlife. We feed badgers, foxes, squirrels and birds that live there. Where would they go? It's environmental vandalism to concrete over and displace all this wildlife.
This area also flooded in 2013, why build with a flood risk?
Also, the infrastructure simply does not exist to support such a massive influx of people and extra traffic.
