Unnecessary expansion of the industrial estate and the loss of greenbelt and good farmland.
I am concerned about the considerable and unnecessary expansion of the industrial estate and the loss of greenbelt and good farmland. The area adjacent to Cherry Orchard Way was originally allocated as a business park but lay unused for years. It was then occupied by travellers and when they were forced to leave it cost thousands to clean the site up. This area is still 50% empty and the rest is now car showrooms and a petrol station/shop. I believe there is no call for an additional business park which will mean areas of good farmland will lay dormant for future traveller invasions.
