Representation Summary:

DUH217
I feel to develop this piece of land for housing would be detrimental to both local residents and certainly to the habitat of wildlife and vegetation which is currently enjoyed by many people. The right of way across the field was substantially reduced in size a few years ago which means the track is much narrower.
The field is regularly used by many people as access to walking/ running / cycling/horse riding routes on the nearby canal and woodland.
If this land were to be developed it would mean an increase in traffic to the development when already roads nearby become congested. The local school already has a high demand on places.
I would ask this plan be carefully considered and thought given to local residents and the beauty of the surrounding area to be retained as Green Belt land.
