Full text:

I would raise an objection to the proposed plan covering the area surrounding Cockernhoe, Mangrove Green and Tea Green (Sites EL1, EL2 and EL3) for the following reasons.

1. The development is on Green Belt Land. Doesn't this mean anything now? Do we not have any brown field sites?
2. The amount of new homes compared to the homes at present is a massive percentage increase.
3. Once again we have plans that add to an already congested road system. The traffic in the area over the past couple of years has increased significantly without adding an extra 3000 plus vehicles to the area and I expect that would be on the low side.
4. Many residents in the area use the area for country walks.
5. I also strongly suspect this would become the start of yet more developments.

Many in the area have the same views, so please take our views in account.
