Object to land being built on as this provides a social environment for residents currently, building here would take away our public open space (which is paramount in new builds!) The site has an abundance of mature trees providing natural wildlife, a place for dog walkers + playing fields for children. On a personal level this site provides essential privacy for my house, I am concerned that building new homes here + taring down trees will have a severe impact on privacy + devalue my home. I am also concerned that this may become a housing association site which is something I object to also, as I know I stand how these areas are treated having lived in an an area previously where homes are not respected or looked after! I moved to get away from this to a private estate which was very well looked after. I moved here I purchased this house due to its private setting provided by the field with lots of trees providing clean air for my husband + son who suffer from asthma. I have concerns over how houses will be positioned if this plan goes ahead. My gardens will be impacted by the loss of natural light + sun. My house is eastly facing so the sun is on the south side which is where these houses will be casting a shadow over both front/ side + back garden. The fencing already casts a small shadow to houses 2 stories high will certainly takeaway sun + light from my garden. I am also worried about gardens backing onto my own trees being destroyed. Plus the prospect of having housing association is close proximity fills me full of drear! So much so that I am already losing sleep thinking about it + the prospect of selling my precious home is evermore apparent due to these plans + concerns. I understand that some greenspace needs to be released but please consider areas which will have less impact on neighbours + more rural areas + larger plots as then POS's will still be accomplished + enjoyed by residents, you will be taking ours away for the sake of 44 houses! Very small amount with tragic impacts
