CFS057 Plot on Rear of Alexandra Road
I own some land behind Alexandra Road and the surrounding area is frequently used by badgers and as a protected animal, prohibits building nearby.
Alexandra Road has had more than its fair share of development lately. As a landowner I was interested in what land had been relisted as building and went to the planning officers to enquire as to what was happening. I was shown maps of what was to be used. This was about 3-4 years ago and was assured that no more would be built on for 10 years. Since then 25 dwellings have been approved behind the houses opposite and now a plot has been put forward for release. This parcel of land is next to mine and, unless roads etc are put in, would have to use Alexandra Road, already overloaded, for access. The land the other side of this plot has already been designated as not to be built on (site at the brick works tried and was not allowed) so to build on this plot would interfere with the wildlife which lives there. there are also bats in the area and these are protected. Has Alexandra Road done something to upset the powers that be as all they want to do is build on it?
This is all wildlife but what about humans i.e., doctors (try to get an appointment), shops and public transport.
