I am writing to formally object to the Queslett Road East/Aldridge Road site consisting of 42 Hecters to provide a proposed 960+ homes.
The proposal of such a development will have a significant negative impact on the area with more pollution as 900+ houses mean 1800 additional cars, resulting in more road traffic, more pollution, less wildlife and more road traffic accidents, the proposed site is very close to several primary schools. The traffic on Queslett Road is already unacceptable due to people commuting to work and shoppers at the weekend. Any additional traffic is untenable.
There is already planning permission for additional homes to be built on the dairy farm site on Doe Bank Lane and Fox Hills equestrian site both sites are less than a mile from this Queslett Road East site. As such the area would be saturated with new development that would impact greatly on the mental and physical health of the residents living on these and close to the Green belt boundary lines. As these developments have already been passed by planning the Queslett Road East site should be removed from this and any future strategy. The area will be greatly harmed if all these sites go ahead. Once the Green belt is gone its gone forever.
Residents on Doe Bank Lane paid a premium of 30 K plus to buy their homes because of the view and health benefits living on a Green belt boundary gives you. What compensation will these home owners receive. Home owners expected and were informed that green belt land would always be protected from any developments, this was stated many times by the MP.
I understand that new homes are required but to saturate one area within 1 mile of each other is uncaring and irresponsible to the people and environment. Brown field sites should always be used first, if additional homes are still required then building should commence inside the Green belt away from the boundaries far from existing homes so that all can gain the benefits to their mental and physical well being by living by green belt.
Any green spaces within a development only serves that development, the loss of the green spaces to those living on the boundary of the green belt are not considered within this strategy
