I strongly oppose the development on Stonnall road/ Lazy Hill for a number of reasons.

My family have lived on Stonnall Road for 3 generations now, directly opposite the proposed development site.
If the development goes ahead it will cause distress and destruction to our family and surrounding members of our community. My grandfather has lived here since 1977, raising his children and grandchildren at the property - something he worked his whole life for. He is now reaching his 80s and would have his final years in the midst of a building site, with constant noise, dust and other major disruption that comes along with building so many houses, so close to our beloved home.

If such a large development was to go ahead, I fear the amount of cars could possibly be in the excess of 800+ ( given 2 cars per household) - Stonnall road is already widley used by daily commuters and at times like a race track. How would a road, originally designed to be a quiet lane, cope with this much traffic? Leading on to the already trecacherous junction that leads on to the chester road. The chester road has countless accidents a year, by adding more traffic to this stretch of road, you will be endagering more lives.

Aswell as the amount of cars, the amount of people moving into the area will put strain on our already full schools, doctros and general infrastructure. If these plans are to go ahead, we would need more junior and senior schools. more doctors, dentists, police - we already have our police stretched to limits - how do you expect them to cope with an extra 3200+ people in our community? (assuming 4 people per household)

On another note, the proposed development is on the Green Belt. We should be protecting our enviroment, not destroying more land for human use. Myself and countless neighbours walk these feilds daily- with land owners permission. There are constant reports of wildlife and rare birds that call these feilds home - where do you expect these animals to live? We have already pushed so many animals our of their natural enviroments, with the world in chaos and dying around us, should our focus be on more housing on our green belt?

I urge you to reconsider these plans, and think of our community that already live here and the uproar it will cause.
