Number of people: 2

grounds for objections:
1 loss of green belt - access to and use of green belt is important for the well being and mental health of the community; its value has been of particular importance during the pandemic and this need continues especially with the increase in ownership of dogs and more residents becoming aware of the benefits of walking
2 Impact on wildlife habitats and biodiversity
3 Potential for further erosion of the green belt: we are concerned that if development is permitted that it is inevitable that further development will follows
4 potential loss of agricultural land which may otherwise be used for the production of food/ animal feed for local consumption
5 increasing the volume of traffic leading to further congestion on already busy roads especially Queslett Road and the adjacent roads and consequential increase in pollution and poorer air quality
6 infrastructure significantly increased demand for schools doctors dentists and other local amenities – land would also be required for building of additional schools, surgeries, etc.
7 greater demand for public transport too
8 further consideration should be given to the use of brownfield sites and other options for example the development of former public houses the repurposing of vacant buildings – former commercial and retail premises in town centre locations which would assist with revitalising town centres
