Objections to Proposed Building Plan

Traffic congestion due to any minor roadworks, including the everyday occurrences of parking of delivery vans and school pick up - drop off effects all of the surrounding area, causing to varying degrees of grid lock, indicating that road infrastructure struggles to support the existing local traffic.
The proposed increased housing will not only adversely effect an already wretched situation. Vehicle noise pollution is very debilitating and taken in partnership with the environment C02 emissions, will make spending leisure times in the open air including gardens which is essential for our mental health and physical health, almost unbearable.
It's common knowledge that the NHS and local schools are at breaking point already, existing staff are physically and mentally overworked, due to low staffing levels, anyone who has unfortunately had to attend A&E knows only too well the truth to this. Extending hospitals and schools is already essential, but the problems are where are the staff going to come from. As they are understaffed already.
Meadfoot Drive lies at the bottom of hollow formed by Swindon Road and the A449 feeding into it.
Rainfall, which is currently absorb by the same farm land, designated the now proposed building site. Without these natural barriers, flooding which is not unknown could catastrophically turn Meadfoot Drive and surrounding road network into a flood plain.
The planning department will be solely responsible for this environmental disaster.
