1) There would be considerable effects on local services e.g. NHS - already shortage of doctors & dentists and hospital waiting times already too long
Schools - already shortage of school places for all ages
Roads - A449 already very busy and other roads in the area are congested. any more traffic will lead to many more delays and poorer air quality. the area is is often gridlocked at peak travel times.
2) Green belt development should be avoided at all costs, the Holbeache site has much wildlife - owls, buzzards, bats, bees, butterflies, with many mature trees & hedgerows. It is also good agricultural land (Grade 2) where a range of crops can be grown. The government has a plan to protect land of this quality & use the soil in a sustainable way.
3) local green spaces are important for mental health & well being and wall health needs to keep this one.
4) There will be considerable disruption when building takes place if it does, making the existing roads even more congested & causing delays
