Respondent: Fiona Hunter

I would like to object to this development and I attach my objections
- Dickens Heath and Tidbury Green have disproportionately high share of housing proposals.
- Adverse impacts of site outweigh positive of being near a railway station
- High performing Green Belt would be lost contrary to national policy.
- Significant loss of sports fields contrary to government policy.
- Additional traffic on already congested roads - consequent effect on air quality
- Whitlocks End rail service is already well used and parking inadequate
- Award winning design of Dickens Heath would be lost.
- Ecology of the area/ Wildlife sites would be adversely impacted
- Flooding (in 2018) would be exacerbated.
- Impact on landscape character
- Tithe Barn Wood is a most significant area of Ancient Woodland and would require a significant buffer from any development thus reducing size of the site
- 90% of Dickens Heath residents (in survey by Parish Council) objected to site
- Dickens Heath School already oversubscribed
- Site does not perform well against the factors identified in the Council's refinement Criteria with the DLP and should be classified as 'red'.
