I am objecting to the planned development of a further 350 houses in Dickens Heath

- There are numerous sports fields included so this will affect our children (and adults) who play rugby and football on these fields, including Old Yards Rugby Club, Highgate Football Club and Wychall Wanderers Football Club, as well as Fitbox boot camp on the rugby field.
- The land is high grade GREEN BELT – Government policy is to protect Green Belt and develop Brownfield land first.
- Site 4 is surrounded by Local Wildlife Sites and Ancient Woodland – this will be so detrimental to the deer, badgers, bats and other wildlife that roam in these fields and adjoining woodland.
- The narrow rural road network cannot take further development and is already overloaded. It is becoming increasingly difficult f to get to work on time due to the traffic in the mornings, leaving earlier is not an option as I have to wait until my child goes to school first.
The character and setting of the Village will be adversely affected and sense of community and identity compromised. There are strong, definable boundaries to the existing Village being the canal and the woodlands and ancient hedgerows
