Representation ID: 6564

Received: 04/02/2019

Respondent: Christine Street

Representation Summary:

Objection to Site 4:
- Numerous sports fields on site, it is not in the public interest to build on these and reduce sporting facilities.
- The infrastructure is already unable to cope with traffic and parking in the area - insufficient spaces already at Whitlocks End and at the shops in Dickens Heath.
- The muntjac deer are protected in the UK under the 1991 Deer Act and the building of houses where they are seen daily (rear of Old Yardleians) will kill them.
- The fields currently already flood every Winter and whenever there is heavy rainfall
