As a resident of Kixley Lane, I would like to make the strongest
possible protest regarding the recent proposals for potential housing
development adjacent to Golden End Farm, which I believe has now been
categorised as Amber.!!

My reasons for making this protest are many. However, some of these are:-

This would be a significant intrusion into the Green Belt.

The impact upon Kixley Lane, both during and after building. ie. Any
access to the site using Kixley Lane during building would be extremely
dificult due to the narrowness of the Lane. At some point after building
there is the possibility of the residents of the the new
developmentwould being given access to the Canal walks with the
potential of destroying what has been an historically attractive
entrance for dog walkers and Ramblers to various scenic walks.

The impact on the village of Knowle, where traffic and parking is
already a growing issue.

Other infrastructure issues like schooling and access to Doctors - both
of which are already overloaded.

All of these issues need to be taken into account or else the whole
character of Knowle could be severely damaged.
