Full text:

It is hard to conceive that consideration is being given to further develop an already over developed area with an inferior infrastructure. The effect on the Green Belt and Wildlife would be devastating in itself not to mention the loss of the sports facilities which fall into this site area.
Also it is a known fact that the sports fields are liable to flooding so building on this land will only exacerbate the problem and create flood potential for the existing homes in the area.
The area in question will not sustain any further development without an adverse effect on all of the existing infrastructure.
