LDP - Proposed Housing Allocation 18

I was so disappointed to hear that such a proposal is even being considered at this time.

I travel daily on sharmans cross road and the traffic is regularly gridlocked in the morning, with parents bringing their children to school in sometimes dangerous circumstances. To add more traffic to this area is really quite ludicrous.

As a parent the availability of medical centre appointments for my children are often near impossible to secure, and they complain of over subscribement. I can't imagine how poor the service will become if numbers increase.

Such a development will no doubt destroy the character of our beautiful neighbourhood too. Loss of light and loss of privacy come hand in hand with these types of build.

And finally I understood that SMBCs policy in recent years was that the land was only for sport and that the freehold would not be sold. So surely such a proposal is inappropriate anyway?

I sincerely hope that common sense will prevail and that these development plans will be swiftly and appropriately discarded.
