Barretts Farm

As a resident of Berkswell Parish who will be affected by the proposed housing development on Barretts Farm (Christchurch/Greenlight, HA1) I wish to object on the following basis.
Established historic Greenbelt is being allocated for this development :-
i. Have all the available derelict and brownfield sites been given priority consideration as instructed by the Minister of the Environment?
ii. What are the "exceptional circumstances" being proffered for ignoring Greenbelt conditions ?
iii. Farmland is currently at a premium and following "Brexit", this country is expected to be more self-sufficient in food production.
iv. The high volume proposed houses on this development could cause potential flooding form the run-off which is currently absorbed by the land.
v. The environment diversity of the area would be totally lost to the established wildlife.
vi. Public footpaths across this area are extensively used by both local residents and rambling clubs are unlikely to be respected by developments.
vii. Ancient trees and hedgerows will be destroyed in the proposed development.

The attraction of the semi-rural nature of this area will seriously be affected by the increase local traffic. Light pollution will be imposed by the inevitable street lighting and housing currently evident in this area.
Local services and infrastructure will cause deterioration of water supply, drainage services ,electricity, gas, telephone and broadband, and road conditions and safety.
Schools, medical services, shops, banking, parking, etc at present in the Balsall Common area are barely sufficient to serve the existing community and are therefore unlikely to be adequate with the development population increase.
I hope the previous comments will receive your favourable consideration in determining that the Barretts Farm development should not progress.
