Proposed Housing Allocation 18
I am writing to object to the proposed development off Sharmans cross road. My reasons are:

1. The development is not suitable for this area and will destroy the character of the neighbourhood. We would be concerned on the affordable housing and what this would attract to an area of expensive housing.
2. Traffic is already bad on Sharmans cross road at peak times and this would increase volume and cause even more gridlock. It is also near to a school and on a cycle route so the increase in traffic could cause danger to children.
3. Parking is already bad at peak times and when sport matches are on at Silhill and this would make it more chaotic.
4. More people on this land would mean more people accessing the schools and medical centres which are hard enough to get into.
5. I was under the impression that this land could only be used for sport so why destroy yet another sports area with housing.
