I object to the proposed development due to concerns about increased traffic and highway safety, as the area already experiences high congestion. I am also worried about flood risk and drainage issues, given the site's history of waterlogging and potential for increased flooding. The loss of green space used for recreation would impact community wellbeing and biodiversity. Additionally, the development could strain local healthcare services, which are already near capacity. I ask that these concerns be taken into account in the decision-making process.
I wish to formally object to the proposed development on the following grounds:
1. Increased Traffic and Highway Safety
The development would result in a significant increase in traffic within an area that already experiences high vehicle volumes and congestion. This raises serious concerns regarding road safety, increased journey times, and the overall capacity of the existing highway infrastructure to accommodate additional demand.
2. Flood Risk and Drainage Concerns
The site is known to experience frequent waterlogging, with the fields often extremely muddy and prone to flooding during periods of heavy rainfall. Development on this land may exacerbate surface water runoff and increase flood risk to surrounding properties unless robust and clearly evidenced drainage mitigation measures are implemented.
3. Loss of Green Space and Community Amenity
The proposed development would result in the loss of valuable green space currently used by local residents for recreation, including dog walking. This area contributes positively to community wellbeing, biodiversity, and the character of the locality.
4. Pressure on Local Healthcare Services
Local GP practices and healthcare services are already operating at or near capacity. The addition of new housing without corresponding investment in healthcare infrastructure would place further strain on doctors’ availability and access to medical services for existing and future residents.
For the reasons outlined above, I respectfully request that these concerns be carefully considered when determining the application.
