Representation Summary:

if there is an increase to the population.
3. Effect on Local Services: Schools. It appears that no contingency has been made for the impact on schools and school places. There is little or no capacity at local schools within walking distance. This will ultimately impact on road use. See above. It will more than likely be families with school age children who would move to these new developments. there will also be a negative impact on class sizes. Most likely forcing them over the legal limit.
4. Lot of Greenspace, Green Belt. Impact on Wildlife and the environment. It is well documented and reported about the positive benefits of fresh air and how important green spaces have been during the pendemic. So why on earth would the council want to destroy green spaces? there will be destruction of wildlife ( The surrounding hedgerows are Sites of Local Importance for Nature conservation), flora- (our famous Daffodils) and good agricultural land, which is protected by Government policy. There ARE Brownfield sites which should be used first to alleviate local eyesores.
This council has no regard for the environment and wellbeing of it's residents and I believe they are motivated by money .
