Representation Summary:

The infrastructure is not in place to facilitate this development our small roads can not cope with the existing traffic let alone adding to it. It will also be putting the local residents at risk of higher house insurance premiums due to the flood risk threat increasing

I live in Littlemead Road having moved to the area 8 months ago at that time we found out that our house insurance is higher due to Majors Green being in a flood risk area, the fields that this proposed site will be irradiated and then where will the excess rain water go? Our house insurances will again cost us more! Our small roads already flood and retain excessive water when we have a storm.
The existing roads around Majors Green are already heavily congested where it can take up to a few minutes to exit Rusheligh onto Majors Green. Traffic is always excessive and heavy around Whitlocks End train station
