1. Cheswick Green cannot cope with any more developments - a disproportionate number of houses are being built in Cheswick Green compared to the rest of the Borough. Not enough houses are being built on brownfield sites.
2. Even more problems accessing local services - further strain on the NHS for appointments, operations and a longer wait to see the Doctor. No plan included to build a new GP surgery alongside these houses.
3. Strong likelihood of more flooding - the more green space that is lost to housing the greater the likelihood of future flooding to a greater extent.
4. Travel, employment and public transport - it will take longer to commute on already busy, congested and gridlocked roads at peak times. No local employment and public transport benefits. A new transport policy is not included within the draft plan.
5. The environment - the council intend to create an artificial boundary by building a road as part of the proposed development. This goes against the spirit and intentions of national planning policy
6. Preventing even more development in future years - Dog Kennel Lane is the only boundary between Cheswick Green and adjoining areas of the Borough. If that boundary is lost the rest of Cheswick Green is open to further extensive development. We face the likelihood that very little if any green space will remain.

As a relatively new resident in Cheswick Green on the new Cheswick Place development I understand the importance in creating new homes for the increasing population in the Borough, however, as a young couple I am concerned about when I start a new family of the provisions that will be or not be available for my children. There is a lack of detail over how amenities will be managed and be able to cope with even more residents flooding the area. The balance between Urban/Rural areas is what currently makes the area so attractive at the moment and I fear with more development will have a detrimental effect.
