Representation ID: 41149

Received: 17/08/2021

Respondent: Hennie Chilvers

Representation Summary:

We have attended a consultation and studied the map with all the blue planned farm fields for housing.
There seem to be an awful lot of planning . I know people need somewhere to live .
But the environment is important too.
To reduce the amount of housing I suggest The council should talk about the environmental impact this will have on our area.
With 600 houses come 600 cars or a lot more .I live in a close with 8 houses And 14 cars.
I also think we should do lots more to encourage people to cycle.
A stripe on a pavement like in Ashingdon road is not good enough. It's dangerous for the children walking to Holt Farm school.
There should have been a proper distinguished border The pavement was wide enough to do that
Hall road could have a cycle path Behind the trees Not just a stripe on the road .
Ironwell lane could be made into bridle path one side cycling path next to it At the moment Ironwell can not be used if it rains a lot.
So my opinion is Reduce the amount of housing .Spend the council TAX The council receives from all the houses already build on saving the enviroment
By providing alternative transport To reduce the amount of cars
By providing proper cycling routes Especially to schools .And providing convenient public transport.
