Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8323

Received: 14/03/2019

Respondent: Mrs Moya Melville

Representation Summary:

Frog Lane as it currently exists very clearly marks the southern boundary of the surrounding Green Belt. The construction of 110 houses adjacent to the lane will change the rural nature of the area forever by greatly increasing traffic, noise, loss of visual amenity and will turn Frog Lane itself into a rat run. The lane is currently very popular with walkers of all ages who will no longer be able quickly and easily to access open countryside from surrounding houses. Once this land is lost, it will be too easy to permit further development into the surrounding countryside.
