Representation Summary:

I strongly object to the planned proposals to build houses on Greenbelt land along Grange Crescent. Greenbelt Land should be protected and preserved for the community not built on with any form of housing development. The fields along Grange Crescent are home to [Redacted-sensitive information] and an array of other wildlife which will perish as a result of this proposed development. With the number of homes being proposed this will dramatically increase the traffic to and from the area. Flow of traffic will increase not only from residents getting access to there homes but also from family and friends visiting residents in the street. With the increased traffic flow also comes an increase in danger of possible motor vehicle accidents and accidents involving small children who reside in the area. By taking away fields you will be depriving people of somewhere to walk their dogs and to exercise which would lead to mental health issues like depression and loneliness as well as taking away somewhere for children to play. When it rains heavly the Brook overflows on to the field and if you take the field away then it will overflow onto the roads and into peoples homes causing more problems as well as damage to properties. The residents along Grange Crescent will lose their privacy as the development will overlook there homes and you will be able to see into each others homes. Also the road is too narrow, delivery trucks and garbage trucks already have problems coming down the road adding more homes is going to make it even more difficult even if you widen the Road.
