Representation ID: 13391

Received: 05/10/2021

Respondent: Mr Mark Woods

Representation Summary:

I would like to raise objections to the current proposal. I am unable to find the application on the planning
portal which could be interpreted as a deliberate act ? to stop people objecting .
I have shared several posts on Face Book to raise awareness ,and several people have informed me that they have also struggled to make representation .
Has the department responsible for looking at this site taken into consideration,
1. Brown field sites across the borough
2 The impact to wild life,where will our Fresh Air come from,rain water run off,What will happen to the deer
herd roaming around on these fields,where will people go to get reprieve from daily living and improve their
mental health ,how can we say we want to be "Green" when destroying some of the last open spaces we have
? destruction of trees,hedge rows a complete wild life infrastructure
3. Infra structure of ,the roads is already busy,we will end up with longer queues higher pollution,poor air
quality and impacts on our physical/mental health .Schools are already struggling to accommodate certain
year groups ,where will be the GP capacity,Hospital capacity,dental practices will these highly vital issues be
taken into account ?
4 Has the total environmental impact been calculated,digging out releasing carbon,CO2 impact of materials
being brought in ,impact of them being dug out of the ground transport cost to the environment ,displacing
unwanted materials ,.The total environmental impact is often ignored but has a major impact for years to
come .Water courses will be altered what about flood risks ?
5 Will the council insist on any new homes being built in this borough ,preferably on Brown sites be forced
to utilise the most stringent insulation,Heat source/solar panels no Gas heating/cooking 100% renewable
energy ? rain water capture for Grey water items .Any new homes should be built to the highest
environmental/insulation standards not the minimum .
