New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Representation ID: 43205

Received: 13/09/2021

Respondent: Julie Bellingham

Representation Summary:

I strongly object to the proposed development in Ashingdon.
We are losing all our green space and local residents do not want to lose anymore. More importantly than that, there is no infrastructure in place to deal with the extra traffic these developments would cause. As it is, the Ashingdon Road is blocked with traffic at certain times of the day and it is totally unacceptable to expect to be able to build more houses and it not impact the local roads.
One of the main reasons people chose to move to this area was the available green space that can be enjoyed by everyone. This is now potentially going to be taken away from so many people that enjoy the open space. It's quite frankly disgraceful, the area is overcrowded as it is and I urge you to put a stop to these concrete developments in the middle of our countryside.
