Representation Summary:

Holbeache DUH 208
The Triangle DUH 211

I object to the proposed developments, based on the following concerns:-
1) The roads around the proposed Triangle development already cause major tailbacks, especially around rush hour times of the day. Lodge Lane in particular queues from the traffic lights towards the end of Lodge Lane and adding additional traffic will cause gridlock.
2) The drainage, in particular Lodge Lane is already poor and cannot cope with heavy rain/storms, which is only going to get worse with 'Global Warming' adding more houses could cause severe flooding.
3) The traffic lights on Lodge Lane already cause issues and the number of accidents has been high, and is just waiting for more to happen.
4) Building on these proposed 'Green Belts', will minimise the space available for everyone to enjoy green spaces. The so mentioned fields are used heavily by all members of the community, for walks, dog walking which was even higher through the 'Covid Lockdowns!
5) The local infrastructure cannot take anymore housing, schools are already full, lack of doctors places and the extra burden on the local hospital which already struggle to cope.
