I wish to object to the Proposed Submission Local Plan 2011-2031 on the following basis:

* The local infrastructure is/would be unable to cope with the increase in population if the plans were to go ahead.
* The roads ie A505 would be unable to handle the increase volume of traffic, even with the proposed plans.
* Local schools would not be able to cope with the increased population, even with the proposed plans, which are still insufficient.
* The land is green belt land and should be protected.
* The proposal is completely out of proportion. 2,100 homes is 14% of the total allocation of houses in the NHDC Local Plan, a 1,025% increase on the 205 houses in the three hamlets, placing these and the houses in Wigmore bordering the development into the middle of an estate.

Please consider these viewpoints.
