[Holbeache]
There are multiple problems with the building plans for these areas

The local NHS waiting time partly as a result of COVID but also pre covid is to long and will not be able to cope with this increasse. Local doctors surgeries dont have the parking or capacity for new patients as it is.

The local infrastructure is not setup nor suitable for the additional houses and traffic coming in and out, yet alone the building work vehicles. The main part of wall heath has long delays due to the "double islands" and these are in no way suitable for an additional influx of traffic. The main car park is wall heath for the COOP holds around 40-50 cars and again would be significantly over crowded. Adding an additional road onto the major A449 causes significant risks to the car as has already seen following the one way system brought into place from the turning onto beachcroft road. There have been multiple accidents near holbeache house and this will not help.

There are also not enough spaces for children to obtain places within the currently school setup, and with the locations of the school again even if the school could accommodate this the road setup and parking situation is not suitable for an increase in traffic numbers. School places cannot cope with the existing so further demand will not help, this means families will have to commute further to schools and thus increasing emissions and travel delays.

If 81% of the sites found can be brownfield then why not the smallest proportion of houses also be moved to brownfield sites. The impact on the green belt is damming and brownfield sites should e considered. The local areas provide good areas for people to walk within the short reach of the housing and allows people to take time away from the centre. Losing these areas would mean people then have to drive to nearby areas in order to walk or use the nicer outdoor areas. The impact on the local environment through the construction, travel, infrastructure and waste will damage the areas considerably.
