Representation Summary:

Pindi Nursery development
I am writing in regards to the site at Pindi Nursery. I have lived in Hockley all my life and seen the gradual increase for more houses due to more people wanting to live in this area. There have been housing development sites built next to it over the last 2 years as well as houses over the other side of the nursery, so more houses would not look out of place, it would just look like a continuation of houses like any normal street. There has also been a large development which is currently ongoing just down the road.

Having been to the nursery, it could not be saved and therefore would just be left, which I feel would not be nice and could look unsightly on the area. Any fully working nursery would usually have hundreds of cars per day visiting the site which brings in a lot of traffic, by having the houses would reduce the traffic.

I believe that the trees are being kept around the edges, which therefore still maintains any local wildlife habitats and saves the trees.

To conclude, I feel that this would be a positive outcome for this site so that it is just not left for ruins.
