New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 42584

Received: 08/09/2021

Respondent: Mr Colin Allison

Representation Summary:

I wish to lodge my objections to the New Local Plan concerning the following sites:

CFS045 HAWKWELL
CFS064 HOCKLEY
CFS160 HOCKLEY
CFS161 HOCKLEY
CFS074 HAWKWELL
CFS194, 169,150, 020 ADJACENT SITES
CFS261 LAND AROUND KING EDMUND SCHOOL

Reasons are given as follows:

We have already seen a large growth in housing over recent years with the consequential rise in traffic leading to gridlock type conditions. This has resulted in extremely poor air quality and pollution affecting ours and children's health. The further loss of already diminished green areas and open spaces will have a dreadful impact on wildlife where we already experience a high number of foxes and badgers roaming our streets and gardens plus an increase in vermin as they are driven from their habitats.

The loss of public footpaths and bridleways and green open spaces that is proposed cannot be tolerated.

Immense pressure will be placed on Doctors, Hospitals and Schools where there has been no increase in provision of these services so far especially for recent expansion.

The increased building will mean even more concreting and paving over land that should be left to cope with the increased rainfall that we are experiencing and will also place extreme pressure on water and sewage services.

We are seeing less and less of maintenance of our roads and pavements so how can you expect to address this problem when you contemplate building even more.

To not properly look at the infrastructure and not offer a true solution to the immense problems that will occur and to take away our open spaces is appalling.

I hereby totally and thoroughly object to these proposals.
