Full text:

The area is an expansion of an already expanded area of Dickens Heath where existing facilities eg parking, Dr surgery, local shops etc can not cope with these new extensions. The Dickens Heath development is already in my opinion too large for these facilities. The new development over the past 18 months has very little green garden or border areas. The area of this proposed development will cause chaotic traffic in an already congested area. We will lose the 'village' feel that is so important (and is already compromised with recent development). No consideration has been made of more relevant brown belt land. And there is no realistic compensation and alternative for the lost of the sports facilities that this proposal offers.
