This represents further erosion of the green space around Cheswick Green. The significant numbers of new houses have already significantly increased local traffic and increased pressure on GP Services. Flooding is a major concern, these new dwellings will add to the risk to existing dwellings. This development would mean a 300% increase in housing for the local area, a disproportionate number when compared to the rest of the borough. More provision should be made for wildlife, cycle and walking routes connecting the existing developments rather than yet more new houses. Brownfield sites should be used before development of greenfield sites.
The proposal for site BL2 should be removed from the plan in its entirety and development opportunities sought in other wards and brownfield sites.
