I am objecting to the proposed development of Corbett Meadow.
- This area is a designated Local Green Space under Policy DSA4
- Also an Area of High Historic Landscape Value, designated under Policy ENV5.
-The area provides a crucial green space amenity for the local area, something which is lacking in the immediate surrounds.
-It is important for the physical and mental health and wellbeing of all those who use it.
-It is also a haven for local wildlife, which would be lost if the green space were removed
-This is also important as part of the Coalbourne Brook Valley
-The local highways area already clogged and overburdened, and this planned development would add to that.
-Highway safety concerns would be added to by creating a new access onto Vicarage Road
-There is a huge amount of brownfield lane in the local area which would much better facilitate the required housing to fill the Local Plan Objectives.
