Representation Summary:

Proposal Objections
I am emailing to register my objections to the following site proposals as a resident of Great Stambridge but wasn’t able to navigate your objections website Im afraid. Therefore it is being emailed from work and my personal email address is at the bottom

Site No CFS141 – 231 houses proposed (fields at Stewards Elm Farm)
Site No CFS072 – 167 houses proposed (field to the right looking up Cagefield Rd)
Site No CFS073 – 74 houses proposed (field on the left looking up Cagefield Rd)

I have spent the best part of my whole life in this village and what you are suggesting will destroy it completely
At the moment we are a small but very tight community, with most of my neighbours having lived here for generations. I understand people don’t like change but in this instance the proposed change would most definitely not be progress…..it would be destruction and devastation.

Destruction of the wildlife that surrounds us, their habitats and breeding grounds, the quiet country walks and solitude that made this place so valuable to all the surrounding residents during the last couple of years of Lockdowns.

Especially now, more than ever before, our Greenbelt and open spaces need to be protected and we, as the people who live here (and our councillors as our elected representatives) have a duty of care to this area, to recognise its value and that we have a chance to do our part to help the environment by protecting it for future generations.

This should be a wildlife preserve where herons, hawks, woodpeckers, pipistrelles, voles, dormice, hedgehogs, badgers and all the amazing things that are seen here on a daily basis can be encouraged to multiply and their species logged, counted and encouraged, away from the ravages of building contractors who are only looking to make money. They don’t know us, care about our lives and jobs here or worry about the environmental impact of their greed. As the people we voted for to be our voice, you need to listen to what is being said. There is only one chance to get this right or go down in history as the Government who accelerated the destruction of many of our native species and the rural way of life, ignoring the environmental and historical impact in favour of money and housing
