Development of this site will have an adverse affect on the local roads which are already straining under the increased traffic from the development of Dickens Heath. Access to the site is on a 90 degree bend which has seen multiple accidents over a number of years.
The land is designated as green belt and should not be developed on under any circumstances. There has already been substantial loss of such lands with other developments to the detriment of the environment and outdoor enjoyment available in the borough.
The national planning policy framework was updated last summer and one of the key changes was that if green land was to be developed there should be some form of compensation in the area.There is no obvious evidence of this in the revised local plan document where compensation is to be made generally or for specific sites.
We object in the strongest terms to the development of the proposed land as it represents a significant and permanent loss to the local community with very little, if any, benefit to the existing residents.
