Proposed development of 100 houses on Sharmans Cross Road

I am writing to express my objection to the proposed development of new houses. My primary concerns are

1) The inevitable increase in traffic - The area is already gridlocked in the weekday mornings and this will cause a further increase in traffic. I've also seen a number of accidents on the junction with Streetsbook Road and this will pose a further risk. How do you propose to deal with this?
2) The availability of medical help - At Northbrook Group Practice, I have to book an appointment three weeks in advance and the increase in population will lead to further contention. How do you propose to alleviate this?
