Object to any development on the green belt. All development should take place on the many brownfield sites that need improving. Building here would be bad for local wildlife and diminish the quality of life for local residents. There is no shortage of housing and the kind of houses which would be built would not enable local young people to live there.
No justification for increasing congestion and pollution.
Adding 100 houses to a small village with few services and facilities will cause problems and will impact school capacity. Village nature will be destroyed and will attract further commuter traffic.
I object to any development on the green belt. We have so many brownfield sites which need improving that all development should take place. Building on the green belt in Hockley Heath would not only be bad for local wildlife but would diminish the quality of life for the residents who live there.There is no shortage of housing in this village and the kind of houses which would be built there would just be executive homes which would not enable young people from the village to live there.
As previously I object strongly to Green Belt development for reasons outlined above and can see no justification for increasing congestion and pollution in order for property developers to profit.
To add at least 100 houses to a small village with no chemist, doctors surgery, one small shop is causing problems. It will destroy the village nature of Hockley Heath and just attract further commuter traffic. We have a small school which will be unlikely to accommodate those numbers.
