Significant reservations about housing on site 13, how close new development will be to existing properties, whether the existing amenity area and trees will be retained, loss of wildlife and habitats, loss of playing fields, the type, height and tenure of the proposed housing, insufficient schools and medical facilities for the new residents, unsuitability of existing roads for current levels of traffic, without additional traffic from development, the location of the access roads and whether it will have access through existing residential areas.
REGARDING ALLOCATION 13 HOUSES
Regarding the above 600 houses on allocation 13 in Shirley, these properties are being being built at the bottom of our gardens,
which is in Sandfield Close.
Our reservations to these being built are as follows:-
1. HOW FAR AWAY FROM OUR PROPERTIES WILL THEY BE BUILT.
2. WILL THE PRESENT AMENITY AREA BY OUR PROPERTY REMAIN, ALSO THE OAK TREES.
3. ENVIRONMENT - AT PRESENT WE SEE SQUIRRELS, DIFFERENT SPECIES OF BIRDS, HEAR CUCKOOS AND OWLS, THERE
ARE FOXES AND BADGERS. ALL THIS WILL BE LOST FOREVER.
4. THE LOSS OF THE PLAYING FIELDS.
5. WHAT TYPE OF PROPERTIES ARE GOING TO BE BUILT, AND HOW HIGH WILL THEY BE? WILL THEY BE PRIVATE OR COUNCIL?
6. DOCTOR FACILITIES, THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH SURGERIES IN THE AREA, FOR THE AMOUNT OF PROPERTIES BEING BUILT.
7. SCHOOLS, THERE IS NOT SUFFICIENT SCHOOLS IN THE AREA FOR THE AMOUNT OF PROPERTIES BEING BUILT.
8. ROADS, AT PRESENT THEY ARE NOT SUITABLE NOW FOR THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT USES THEM, NEVER MIND
HAVING MORE VEHICLES ON THE ROADS.
9. WHERE WILL THE ACCESS ROADS BE FOR THIS ESTATE?
10. WILL THIS ESTATE BE SEPARATE FROM OURS, AS WE DONT WANT PEOPLE CUTTING THROUGH OUR ESTATE, AND
USING IT AS A PUBLIC FOOTPATH.
We would appreciate a reply as soon as possible, with regards to our concerns about this matter.
