LDP- Proposed Housing Allocation 18
This proposed development surely has significant environmental and social problems. For the environment I am concerned about flooding As you know Sharmans Cross RD., already is subject to flooding and covering a large area of grass with houses, and access roads is going to increase this risk. Our environmental scientists already promise us increasingly warm and wet weather. The increase in traffic both parked and moving would be more than our already choked roads could safely accommodate.
I feel the social problems are equally problematical, especially an increased load on medical facilities which are already overstretched, both primary and hospital care. There is an irony here in that there is a case to be made that sporting facilities are good for peoples health and this plan would reduce these.
I would therefore urge you to abandon this planned development.
