[re CFS064]

The local schools are very full and no extra school places would be made available if this housing is built.

The Dr's surgeries are already overloaded and getting an appointment is not easy without extra households.

CFS064

I object to this field (CFS064) being used for housing for the following reasons.

It is green belt and has always been farmed.

The field is surrounded by 3 small ancient woods which would be badly affected by houses being built.

The field is an important wildlife habitat and supports many native species.

The field has a locally important footpath running around the perimeter which is well used by recreation walkers.

The B1013 would have more traffic using it. At the moment it is already put under strain by the amount of traffic using it.

Roads on the Betts Farm Estate are already used by the existing residents and any increase in traffic would cause more pollution and damage our health.

The local schools are very full and no extra school places would be made available if this housing is built.

It is alongside of the existing school field and would cause extra pollution to the school children.

The Dr's surgeries are already overloaded and getting an appointment is not easy without extra households.
