I would like to register my disagreement with the part of the proposed Local Plan covering development to the east of Luton. The proposals effectively absorb the attractive villages of Tea Green and Cockernhoe into a continuous urbanised area that would be just another part of Luton with the loss of attractive and valuable rural countryside.
Additionally the existing roads are inadequate to support the number of houses that can potentially be built on this area.
I think other proposals should be considered prior to this including the use of brownfield sites within the Luton boundary.
I believe Tea Green and Cockernhoe should remain separate and distinct villages perhaps with much more modest developments within their boundaries.
