I am writing to express my deep concern on the potential release of greenbelt land around Cockernhoe.
Greenbelt was designed to stop urban sprawl never has this been more important and relevant. However well architects and planners dress up plans and drawings the loss of this land is immense .
Cockernhoe will be overrun and destroyed. The land has major appeal to the residents in Wigmore as it is an area where than go for walks to clear their mind and enjoy gentle exercise.
these new houses will not in any way help the national housing problem . we need new towns with dedicated infrastructure to cope with our expanding population. more houses mean more cars more congestion more frustration more stress more pressure on doctors more pressure on hospitals more pressure on schools more pressure on everyday life. I am hoping that common sense will prevail and this greenbelt land will be left alone to serve the purpose it was designed for
