Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

Representation ID: 8707

Received: 15/03/2019

Respondent: Mrs Margaret Gosling

Representation Summary:

Loss of greenbelt leading to urban sprawl. No defined boundary. SMBC has not done a site specific assessment of this site. Lack of infrastructure to support this development - roads already too busy with traffic jams at rush hours. Medical provision not adequate for current population never mend more. Flood risk in Mount Brook catchment will increase - the granting of permission for development on Site 11 will already add to the problem. Loss of habitats, ancient trees and hedgerows - area includes TPO trees. Not close to areas where new job opportunities likely ie near HS2 development.
