I do not agree that the Hampton Road Knowle site should be developed. It is Green Belt, which should be preserved, and, together with plans for South of Knowle, it will add over 1000 houses to Knowle, increasing the size of Knowle by around 25% in 10 years. The existing schools are over-full, with residents finding it very difficult to get local places for their children. Hampton Road is not suitable for the big increase in traffic implied by the development. There is no obvious provision of additional green spaces or local facilities, just a large soul-less housing estate.
