With reference to Site12, south of Dog Kennel Lane, in the Draft Local Plan, I wish to make the following observations.

1. There is no defined boundary on the southern edge of this proposed site. How will the Green Belt between this site and Cheswick Green be protected from further development?

2. I live on the northern edge of Cheswick Green next to the Green Belt land. Although not a flood risk area, the clay soil of this land can give rise to run-off when it becomes saturated. Covering an area with housing would increase this. Very efficient drainage will be needed to protect existing and potential housing.

3. There are many fine trees on this site, such as large mature oaks. These should be preserved for environmental and amenity reasons.
