I wish to place on record my objection to the proposed development of 100 houses on Sharmans Cross Road. There are many reasons why this development is undesirable but for me the main reasons for objecting are:

1 - The increased traffic which will be generated. There are already traffic jams at certain times of the day especially early morning and mid to late afternoon when parents are delivering and collecting children to and from school, not only Sharmans Cross but others in the vicinity i.e. Langley, O.L.C., Reynolds Cross as well as the four schools on the Tudor Grange Park campus. This can lead to problems when keeping appointments at the medical centre and the high volume of traffic is a danger to pedestrians and cyclists, especially children walking and cycling to school.

2 - The character of the whole area will be put at risk with the inevitable felling of many mature trees, shrubs etc.

3 - The increase in population - most of the schools in the area are already over subscribed, as is the medical centre.
