Coronation Road/Mob Lane
The current road adjacent is already inadequate. The local infrastructure is already insufficient for the traffic we already get. Safety would be compromised further with additional traffic congestion. There would be additional disturbance, noise levels and pollution from additional traffic.
Furthermore we struggle to secure a doctor appointment, dentist, opticians etc. Adding a new community would only add more pressure to these essential services.
Mob Lane is exactly that, a lane. It is not built to manage the increased traffic, nor is there a solution to the current congestion i.e. there is only one way to exit the estate via a T junction, traffic builds up.
The area is currently well used as a right of way for walkers, whose mental health & well being relies on fresh air and open space. The loss of trees and damage to wildlife is immeasurable, the loss of green open space would be irreversible and to everyone’s detriment. This would damage the environment, the social & ecological impact would be irreversible.
At a time when we are all meant to be looking after the planet & its climate, to take away a natural space to build houses, when there are plenty of brown sites which could be used instead, seem to us to be unnecessary and criminal. My husband and I wholeheartedly object – the government is committed to the purpose of the Green belt except in very exceptional circumstances, of which this is not one.
