My husband and I strongly object to the proposal to build 800 homes on Home Farm, Sandhills. Our house is close to the current entrance of the farm and benefits from the current countryside view. We have significant concerns that the proposal would de-value our home as a result of this development.
Lichfield Road, Sandhills is already an extremely busy road which is one of the major compromises we made when we bought our house a year ago. The proposal to build 800 new homes would increase the amount of traffic up and down that road even further and we have already seen and heard an increase in anti-social driving down this road. The natural increase in traffic due to new residents, visitors, deliveries to the new homes etc. would also astronomically increase both air and noise pollution in this area.
Residents on lichfield road already have an expanding quarry to the rear of their properties so we strongly object to you taking away our enjoyment of the countryside view and making the road even busier and noisier than it already is. We wholeheartedly do not support this proposal and request you take these concerns seriously.
