Representation Summary:

Good evening
I am contacting you to register my opposition to the proposed development of YIELDFIELDS Farm.

The loss of green belt will have a devastating impact on the area, as the other two developments in Essington will result in a converging conurbation, taking away each areas individuality.

I understand that there is a requirement for housing, but to take away the green belt when there are Brownfield sites available is unacceptable. This is a small parish, how can we support such a large development ? Jobs, schools,community hubs, all need funding.

I live in Long Lane, the traffic on this road is already busy as it is used as a diversion. Parking is a problem and will only get worse.

Surely the authority should be spreading the new housing across the Borough rather than building on one massive site, destroying the beautiful countryside that brought me to live in this area.

This development is not in the best interest of the constituents and I object most strongly.

Jane Clarke
