Full text:

This land is precious Green Belt which should not be used for what is a relatively small amount of housing, but will change the character of the town, as being close the countryside, dramatically. This would also create huge traffic problems. Lucas lane is a narrow unmade road which can't sustain the number of vehicles, both private and commercial, that are likely to want to use is as a thoroughfare were J5 &J6 to be developed, bearing in mind that planning permission has already been granted for houses to be built adjacent to the Cricket Ground.
