Representation Summary:

The Triangle SA-0025-DUD & DUH 203 Holbeach
1. Loss of green belt
More brownfield sites need to be considered. This is more environmentally friendly and repurposes old derelict, unsafe locations.
The land is useful agricultural and graded 3 and above.
2. Quality of life
Developing green belt means loss of access to the countryside, when its gone its gone!
Higher noise levels impacting adjoining residents and wildlife
Increased noise and air pollution
3. Impact on traffic and transport
Already congested roads made even worse
Lack of public transport and cycle routes. Hansen rate our area as having the worst commuting score from homes to places of employment
4. Pressure on local facilities
Doctors surgeries, hospitals, schools are already oversubscribed, this would only make things worse.
Road infrastructure is already struggling to cope with traffic levels
