REF WAH242 policy WSA7

I wish to forward my objections to the policy above and strongly oppose the proposals to build 592 houses on protected and irreplaceable greenbelt land.

As a resident of the area, I will be directly affected [Redacted-GDPR].

It will spoil the open space that I enjoy seeing on walks around the arbouretum park, and will generally ruin the landscape and the largest park in the town

The wildlife we are lucky to see such as the deers and sheep in this open space are now at risk and threatened.

There is plenty of old industrial sites and brownfield sites that shoulld be able to accomodate housing targets without the permanent destruction of greenbelt areas.

There wil be a tremendous pressure on roads, the dual carriageway will certainly not be able to withstand an additional minumum of 500 cars passing through every day to gain access to their property, and generate more traffic in an area which already struggles to maintain a steady throughfare of traffic.

It is disheartening that the golf range will be removed as part of the plans, as we should be encouraging our youth to use these faculites, and the site is always busy with children using the golf range to practice their skills, socialise and take a break from everyday life, reducing the burden of mental health inequalities.

I sincerely hope that these plans will be aborted and a more sensible approach taken to meeting housing targets within the neighbourhood
