Representation ID: 10710

Received: 08/12/2020

Respondent: Mr James Allberry

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

More houses in an area that is not going to be able to cope with this. It will increase pollution, noise and overcrowding. The infrastructure will struggle - local amenities are not designed for this number of people, roads will be blocked up. Flooding is already an issue in this area - more houses will only make this worse. This land is meant to be green belt and the area of Cheswick Green is going to lose its natural boundaries and become part of the urban sprawl. Cheswick has already had a disproportionate number of new dwellings built.

Change suggested by respondent:

Stop building on greenfield sites. Start building on brownfield sites.
