- Accept that SMBC need to meet their housing requirements as required by the Government.
- Welcome proposed reduction from 700 to 350 houses and decision not to proceed with the Sports Stadium.
- As a resident of Majors Green my overriding concern is the potential increase in traffic through our village which is already at an uncomfortable level from a noise, pollution and pedestrian safety perspective.
- Request that you look carefully at the infrastructure changes needed to accommodate this increase, taking into account the additional 300 houses planned for Site 26.
I accept that SMBC need to meet their housing requirements as required by the Government. The proposed reduction from 700 to 350 houses is welcome and is the decision not to proceed with the Sports Stadium is also a plus. As a resident of Majors Green my overriding concern is the potential increase in traffic through our village which is already at an uncomfortable level from a noise, pollution and pedestrian safety perspective. I request that you look carefully at the infrastructure changes needed to accommodate this increase, taking into account the additional 300 houses planned for Site 26. Thanks
