New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 41247

Received: 19/08/2021

Respondent: Mrs Sally Irwin

Representation Summary:

I understand Belchamps scout camp (CFS045) is earmarked for development, and also the large field opposite the Rawal Pindi Nursery (CFS074). Both these sites are valuable green spaces, which we badly need around here for our health, and for the wildlife in the area.

Living, as I do, on Main Road, Hawkwell, i.e. the B1013, I must protest about
further houses being proposed for this area, leading to more cars on this road, which is often already at a standstill, with the added noise and pollution this causes.
There are other sites earmarked also, but the two above are of particular concern as they are so close. This used to be a pleasant, open, space to live, but it’s rapidly becoming not so.

There are no other roads they can use, except past our houses. There is an inadequate bus service so cars are the only option. But…there are no plans for further doctors, dentists or vets, which are all already full and not accepting new clients. So where are all the occupants
of the proposed new houses supposed to go for suchlike ?

We can’t just keep on building on our green spaces – it’s unsustainable and unhealthy. Brownfield sites must be chosen instead if we need all these new homes.

Dear Sirs,

I understand Belchamps scout camp (CFS045) is earmarked for development, and also the large field opposite the Rawal Pindi Nursery (CFS074). Both these sites are valuable green spaces, which we badly need around here for our health, and for the wildlife in the area.
