Respondent: Laura McGill

Representation Summary:

Green belt land to be left well alone. We are a peninsula that should be encouraging wildlife, not killing it and scaring it away.

Full text:

At the moment, it appears that the Council are attempting to force development on to the existing residents of the district so that our once beautiful area makes us feel like we are hemmed in from all sides with no consideration for our needs or wellbeing.

The development on Hall Road is an example, where a loop hole was found to get away with not building the relevant facilities such as doctors and schools that were originally advertised.

The Developer gets rich from selling the properties, the council get rich from the additional revenue (which as a side note makes it disgusting that you are cutting your services) and the only people who lose out are the people who already live here.

The following points need to be considered:

- Suitable roads, doctors and school facilities must be incorporated into these developments without any loop holes that stop this from happening.

- Green belt land to be left well alone. We are a peninsula that should be encouraging wildlife, not killing it and scaring it away.

- buildings should fit in with the historical content of our area.

- affordable houses should be given to local people and not people shipped in from other areas.
